Over the last few years, social media has been flooded with claims about Bigfoot doing a "spider-crawl." While the internet treats this like a brand-new mystery, southern researchers have documented it for decades. We've always called it dropping into 4x4 mode.
When a Sasquatch drops to all fours, it isn't some supernatural creep—it's functional biomechanics. They engage the mid-tarsal break, allowing the foot to flex in the middle rather than acting like a rigid human lever. That articulation gives them phenomenal rear-drive traction and an explosive burst of speed when running down prey.
Beyond raw acceleration, dropping low instantly collapses their massive vertical silhouette, letting them slip across open fields or under low timber without drawing an eye.
Other researchers and I have tracked and observed this behavior for years. The internet didn't discover a new monster; they just stumbled onto basic Sasquatch locomotion.
