 Do your monsters respect borders as much as bigfoot respects the Mexican border?

 @ef37507f I see three possibilities here:
1. Your source data is biased to be USA centric.
2. Mexico doesn’t have the same folklore as the USA, so Bigfoot is not ingrained into people’s psyche there.
3. (My favourite) Bigfoot doesn’t want to risk having to pay for anyone’s wall.

 @ef37507f It’s sad because I used to believe in Bigfoot, I was such a dreamer. But in the age of cell phones and NOT ONE clear photo!? Naw. Maybe they went extinct…sigh…

 @ef37507f now overlay the chupacabra sightings map. I’d be interested to see the comparison.
