Taxidermist Creates Replica of Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot 'Patty'

We talk to film director Dan Wayne and three time world champion taxidermist Ken Walker, about Dan's new documentary Big Fur. 

Big Fur is not a typical documentary on taxidermy, it's much bigger than that...Way BIGGER. 

"Big Fur" follows world champion taxidermist Ken Walker as he creates, teaches, competes, and judges taxidermy competitions. Walker, who specializes in re-creating extinct and endangered species out of other animals' hides, has worked as a taxidermist at the Smithsonian and has been featured in National Geographic and in the book "Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy."    Walker lives on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies where folks have regular Bigfoot encounters and still hunt and trap as a way of life. Is it possible that Bigfoot could exist in this remote and vast landscape? Walker’s argument is compelling; he can change minds in minutes.  hile “Big Fur” is primarily a biographical portrait, Walker’s story also functions as a lens that brings wilderness and wildlife conservation issues into sharp focus.
