Fermo Americanus, also known as the North American Bigfoot or informally Sasquatch, is the only species of great ape found in North America, and one of two in the hominid genus Fermo. Critically endangered, only a few confirmed isolated pockets have been found, primarily in Washington and Canada, as well as at least two in the Midwestern Union, one in the United Commonwealth, one in the Western States, and isolated single specimens across North America. The size of Americanus is on average slightly smaller than its Asian counterpart.
Americanus has been observed living in groups of 15-50, significantly more than the Asian species, and are arguably the most intelligent primates other than humans, though this is debated with Orangutans.
