Generally speaking, the Ohio "Grassman" meets the description of Bigfoot from
other parts of the United States and Canada. The most notable differences
between Grassman and Bigfoot are not in the creature's description but in its
habits.
Grassman has been seen in groups of up to five individuals which might
indicate it is more social than Bigfoot. Further, there are indications that
Grassman "cooperatively" hunts deer and either uses caves for dwellings or
actually constructs crude dwellings from forest material.
We have little
information in these areas concerning Bigfoot. Finally, Grassman if very often
seen on farms or near farms. This fact indicates that farms are a main source
of food for Grassman (often observed in cornfields).
Certainly, Ohio's highly
agricultural nature is a main reason for this occurrence, however, Grassman has
apparently adjusted his lifestyle to suit conditions in Ohio. Bigfoot,
conversely, appears to rely mostly on non-cultivated food sources.
