       My first impressions of this site is that it is laid out well. It is well organized and easy to navigate. The information was basic and to the point. There is no authors found on this page. The writer(s) writes mainly opinions due to the lack of evidence on the topic of the Sasquatch. He gives a description of the Sasquatch and also talks about the habitat and how the Oregon government is trying to protect it.
   
     When i chose this website i did so because it had a .org URL. This means it is a government site. I thought it would have reliable information and facts. I think since it was a government site the information was put in the form of opinions.
 
  The Sasquatch has many different names from different cultures; Big Foot, Ape Man, Kushtaka, the Yeti. Although it has many different names the descriptions are very similar. "Sasquatch,  most commonly found in the Pacific Northwest, is usually described as a bipedal ape-like creature, significantly larger than an average man, and is completely covered in dark brown or reddish hair." (Oregon Wild) There has been sighting of this creature all around the world.

     When i looked on the EBSCO database i found an article based on the legends of Bigfoot and Sasquatch. The article is very logical and fact based. The authors purspose of this article was to lay out the facts both for and against the existence of the Sasquatch. This article seems to be well written and comes from a more skeptical point of view.
