It's Back.

The 2026 Bigfoot Calendar runs March 2026 - February 2027

First - thank you. So many of you reached out asking and strongly encouraging me to create another calendar, so the adventure continues.

I'll be honest, this year took a little longer. Between caring for a family member through a medical situation, navigating tax season, and continuing my support for Washington Tribes, the project had to slow down for a while.

The 2026 Bigfoot Calendar spans March 2026 - February 2027 and takes you on a global cryptid expedition, more immersive and story-driven than ever.

And yes... the one and only Green ticket returns. Good luck!

Expedition For You and Your Family—with ME

Ranae Holland is a research biologist, conservationist, writer, and speaker who thrives at the intersection of science, curiosity, and activism — sprinkled, of course, with a healthy dose of humor. Her overall philosophy is to challenge the unknown; to never tell you what to think, but to instead ask, “What do you think?”

Ranae Holland

Holland grew up surrounded by the rolling farmland of eastern South Dakota. Eternally curious, she dissected her Baby Alive doll at the tender age of five—results were inconclusive. She later earned her degree from the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington and spent a decade conducting fisheries research throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

As Ranae was preparing to study the ecological impact of beavers on an Oregon river she was approached for a scientific role of a very different type: co-hosting the Animal Planet TV show Finding Bigfoot as the resident Skeptical Scientist.

While she doesn’t believe Sasquatch is a biological, undiscovered species—earning her the nickname “the Ranaesayer” — Holland brought her scientific expertise, field skills, and love of the wilderness to investigate alleged sightings around the globe. It was through that experience she discovered her true mission: sharing the power of curiosity to inspire the next generation of naturalists and scientists.

Today, with over three decades of field experience across all fifty U.S. states, all ten Canadian provinces, and six continents, Holland is recognized as a respected leader in science communication and cryptozoology. Known for her analytical approach and extensive expertise in the study of elusive creatures, she blends scientific rigor with inclusive outreach and a deep respect for Indigenous cultures.

Her research emphasizes a collaborative, evidence-based approach to research, particularly her long-term investigation of activity patterns across private and Indigenous lands. Driven by curiosity and a firm commitment to advancing Citizen Science as a tool for meaningful discovery, Ranae integrates modern scientific methods, emerging technologies, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge to foster respectful engagement and broaden our understanding of unexplained phenomena.

A trusted voice in media, research, and science communication for decades, Holland frequently speaks at schools, universities, conferences, and both private and public events, encouraging audiences of all ages to think critically and curiously—challenging us all to keep our sense of wonder intact and to embrace belonging as a tool for communication and connection.
