"This DNA is like nothing else in the world," he said. "This isn't an animal. This is a subspecies of a human, and we believe they travel in groups." According to the team the creatures stand approximately 7 to 8 feet tall and weigh up to 1000 pounds.

"I think that the government probably is aware of the subject, but it's difficult to give acknowledgement to something that they obviously can't control," said Paulides, who estimates that there could be as many as 50,000 individuals roaming the wilderness of North America.

Whether there is any truth to these claims however remains to be seen.[!gad]Researcher Dave Paulides maintains that the group collected several hundred DNA samples from Northern California's redwoods including strands of alleged Sasquatch hair.
