The skull is likely a cast, experts say.
A"large primate skull" was allegedly found in British Columbia by American YouTuber Coyote Peterson, according to social media posts he shared on Thursday . In those posts, Peterson wrote that he had hid the discovery"for several weeks" from government officials and any others who might"try to cease [sic] our footage" of the excavation.
Jonathan Kolby, a science consultant and National Geographic Explorer with expertise in wildlife trade, wrote that "Smuggling any primate specimens into the United States, even if 'found' in the wild is illegal. Pinging @COYOTEPETERSON for your information.... because @USFWS or @CBP might not be ok with this, even if you think you found Bigfoot....
In his posts, Peterson said that he's still in possession of the skull and that the specimen is safe and awaiting primatologist review. The"secure location" of the skull isn't specified, but if it's in the U.S., Peterson's posts would suggest that he somehow smuggled the specimen across the U.S.-Canadian border.
