Origins and legends around the world aid in the way people see Bigfoot and their beliefs about the mythological creature.
In an article from BFRO (The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization), legends are told of the Bigfoot. The Indians from centuries ago regarded Bigfoot as a being superior to both humans and animals.

Horses also have a much different digestive track than the other grazers that the Comanche may be more acquainted to. They require a variety of different forages in their diet.
