 * < Initiating Event || Legends of BigFoot in Asia may orignate from a species of giant ape that actually lived hundreds of years ago. The species of ape, called Gigantopithecus, were over 10 feet tall and had no natural predators. They lived mainly on a diet of bamboo and scientists have fossilized molars from the giant apes that show they lived in Asia over 100,000 years ago. Due to a climate change and the natural growing cycles of bamboo plants, the species experienced a shortage of bamboo and died out. A few members of the species may have adapted and survived - leading to sightings and the birth of the Asian BigFoot legend.
 * < Internal Response ||< Sightings of large half-man, half-ape creatures have fed legends and superstitions of BigFoot. Villagers have begun sight seeing tours to areas where the creatures have been frequently sighted. ||
 * < Goal ||< Scientists and professional investigators plan to hunt and capture live evidence or specimens of the creature. ||
 * < Consequence ||< Official hunts and investigations have been planned to find the creature. ||
 * < Resolution ||< There still has not been an official capture or scientific discovery of BigFoot In Asia ||
