DR. GROVER KRANTZ The only true scientist to throw his hat in the ring in the early 1970’s, Grover has dozens of plaster footprints which he says are real. Working out of his offices at Washington State University, Krantz’s office are filled with casts, drawings, gorilla skulls and various pieces of primate anatomy. At odds with Dahinden (who has no patience for academics), Dr. Krantz believes that Sasquatch/Bigfoot is actually a prehistoric giant ape- Gigantopithecus Blacki which came over the icebridge 10,000 years ago. Krantz figures there are roughly 2000 Bigfoots roaming the vast wilderness between northern California and British Columbia. Shunned by most academics, Krantz nevertheless soldiers on, clinging to his plaster casts, lecturing at Bigfoot conventions, determined to make believers out of the skeptics.
