Bigfoot seems to have been described in several different colors. White, Gray, Brown, Red, Black.

Anyone have a theory on why they are so different?

I wonder if the theory: "You are what you eat," holds true w/Bigfoot?

Falmingo's are pink because they eat a lot of shrimp.

Maybe just the course of nature. Humans have different variations of hair color.

or perhaps it's a geographical thing. It seems (Although I don't have any strong

statistics to validate this ) that lighter colored sasquatches are observed in warmer

southern climates. But I don't know for sure. Good question Elevation.

I feel that the hair coloration of BF can be attributed to a combination of genetics and age. Genetically we get hair color from the genes our parents pass on to us, possibly similar in BF, and as we age we lose pigment in our hair making it gray or white, also possibly the same for BF. Just my two cents.

An anthropologist I know has suggested that climate has something to do with it.
Animals from colder climates generally have lighter hair than those from tropical climates. Bears are an obvious example, with polar bears in the north and brown black bears in the northern forests with more black black bears in the south. Could be something similar, with the need to balance u.v. protection, cmouflage, and enough sunlight reaching the skin to generate vitamin D.
Or so I've heard...

Are you suggesting .... that the white ones spotted down south in places like Texas, took an Air Alaska jet to Houston for some sightseeing ????

That could also be a viable alternative, or something, somewhere in between.
