'Bigfoot' believers are going wild over a recent ‘sighting’ on Google Earth.
The image from Colorado in the United States went viral showing what people are claiming is a seven and a half feet 'Bigfoot' apparently roaming a forest.
Legend says that 'Bigfoot' resides in the forests of North America and there have been multiple 'sightings' over the years.

This latest sighting of what looks like the ape-like creature was laid bare for all to see on Google Earth, and since being shared on Reddit, people have been posting information and theories on 'Bigfoot'.
The exact coordinates of where the bear-like animal is are 38°16'24" N. 108°08'32 in western Colorado - where the supposed creature is seen strolling through a clearing near some vegetation.
A caption posted alongside the image reads: “Is it a bear? A puddle? A hiker without gear? Impossible to say for certain but the darker areas of the subject align with the shadows of other objects nearby.
“Measures around 7-7.5 feet. Appears hunched over. Subject does not appear on other satellite images from different years which might imply that subject is mobile or not stationary object.”
One community member said he knew the area and told of having felt a creepy feeling when he visited that spot before.
"I’m actually quite familiar with that general area. I lived in Montrose for 26 years and used to camp and hike on the Uncompahgre Plateau," they wrote.
"There was one section on that loop hike that sometimes gave me the willies in a vague and undefinable way, and at least one other person I know said the same thing about that area. I don’t know about the image, but I do know that the Uncompahgre Plateau is big, rugged, and at least POTENTIALLY squatchy."
But another community member was less convinced.
"I found later photos (Shadows are different, sun farther south/lower) and this is a ground anomaly," they wrote.
"Water likely. Maybe the start of a lake. If that is the case, it should be named Skookum Lake."
It comes as 'Bigfoot' expert Thomas Markum has said that the creature rarely attacks humans.
"Without a doubt, a bigfoot could easily kill a man if it wanted to. The size and strength would be unmatched by a human," he said.
"But this would be a very rare event, in my opinion. While the potential is there that bigfoot could do human harm, it doesn't seem to be happening. There are a few historical reports of attacks but most are only after someone shot at a bigfoot."
While researchers are reporting more and more encounters with 'Bigfoot', Marcum noted that "if Bigfoot was a killing machine, they would never make it out."
