Finding Bigfoot is an American reality television series on Animal Planet that follows a team of four researchers investigating potential evidence for Bigfoot, a human or ape-like mythical creature alleged by some to inhabit the North American wilderness.

Despite the team never capturing conclusive evidence for Bigfoot's existence and mixed reviews from critics, the show gained high ratings and was a top earner for Animal Planet.

If it is a photograph or a video, the team will perform a re-creation and a size comparison of the event, using the same camera that the witness used.

For the final night investigation, the team usually devises a unique plan to try to attract a Bigfoot, usually involving noise or light, by using boats on a lake, or silent electric ATVs.

In the third season, the team expanded their search to investigate other Bigfoot-like creatures such as the Yowie in Australia, Orang Pendek in Indonesia, and the Wildman in Vietnam.

On February 8, 2021, the series returned for a two-hour special entitled "Finding Bigfoot: The Search Continues."

[9] Animal Planet received criticism for Finding Bigfoot and Mermaids: The Body Found[10] for their "outlandishness”.

"[11] Several episodes of the first season received heavy criticism from the four 'Finding Bigfoot' members themselves, for the editing style that Animal Planet used, to make it appear that a horse and a person were unidentified by the team, and what they were remained unknown.

Finding Bigfoot: Rejected Evidence is an online-only series, in which executive producer Keith Hoffman airs video deemed not worthy of inclusion on the show.
