Rick Dyer, a self-proclaimed Bigfoot hunter, has released a photo of what he claims to be the mythical ape-like creature that also goes by the name "Sasquatch."
The photo shows a creature that appears to be a deceased, albino-like Bigfoot, which Dyer says he shot and killed in Texas during a September 2012 hunt near San Antonio.

"
Bigfoot is 100 percent real – there's no question about that," Dyer told KSAT.com.
"Every test that you can possibly imagine was performed on this body — from DNA tests to 3D optical scans to body scans," Dyer told KSAT. "It is the real deal. It's Bigfoot and Bigfoot's here, and I shot it and now I'm proving it to the world."
Prior to the photo release, Dyer had taken part in a documentary titled "Shooting Bigfoot," which was released last year and included a grainy video, featured below, which he shot of the supposed creature prior to the hunt.
The documentary reportedly did little to convince skeptics that such a creature exists. Dyer subsequently had a dispute with investors.
"Bigfoot is not a tooth fairy — Bigfoot is real," Dyer said. "The most important thing to me is being vindicated, letting people know that I am the best Bigfoot tracker in the world and it's not just me saying it."
Dyer plans to take the alleged body on tour across North American where he will charge a viewing fee to convince the world that
he actually killed Bigfoot, Fox News reported.
So far, he says he has already invited more than 100 people to view the body.
"We wanted to get people's reactions, make them believers, and we did it to over a 130 people," Dyer added. "We definitely made them believers."
This isn't Dyer's first time claiming he has found Bigfoot.
In 2008, Dyer and a friend were involved in a Bigfoot hoax, in which the mythical creature they displayed for the world to see was in fact nothing more than an elaborate rubber ape suit.
