IT'S definitely big. It's certainly hairy. Could this mysterious beast be the elusive Bigfoot?
Shot in snowy woods in the US state of Maine this video shows a creepy creature lurking in the treetops — and the footage has taken the internet by storm.

Speculation is rife about the identity of the fearsome animal.

It has been likened to a monkey and even a bear. But many of the 50,000 people who have already watched the clip are convinced it could be the legendary sasquatch.

The video was posted on YouTube by American user webtech88 five days ago.

A woman can be heard telling a child to look at "the bear" in the branches.

But the terrified kid tearfully replies: "I don't like bears."

Although the cameraman can be heard whistling to attract the animal, it sits silently in the tree.

It is only when they see the front of the animal the group realise is might not be a bear.

The confused woman says: "I see an ape." While the cameraman agrees: "It does look like a monkey."

Maine, in the north east of the country, has had a number of Bigfoot sightings over the years.
