1,000,000 sq miles - USA map
This is what 1,000,000 square miles looks like.
Why 1,000,000 sq miles?
That is roughly the total amount of Federally protected wilderness in the United States. It is upon this land and adjacent seldom used land that those studying primates say is the best location for Bigfoot to exist. Granted, the actual lands in question are scattered, and many are in Alaska, however, the illustration still gets you thinking, what could still be out there, especially given that western civilization first gazed into the eyes of a gorilla less than 200 years ago.
Even at that time, most saw the gorilla via illustrations such the drawing of French explorer Paul Du Chaillu in close quarters with a gorilla and a local guide.
