Meldrum is an Associate Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology and Adjunct Associate Professor of the Dept of Anthropology at Idaho State University. He is also Adjunct Professor of Occupational and Physical Therapy and Affiliate Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Idaho Museum of Natural History. He has discovered several extinct species and published widely on the evolutionary history of South American primates. However, his recent studies have shifted to the study of footprints left by an unrecognized North American ape. His expertise on foot morphology and locomotion in monkeys, apes and hominids brings a level of scientific inquiry to the search of Bigfoot that is new. He is the author of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, a companion volume to the Discovery Channel documentary of the same name. Meldrum is considered by many to be the nation’s leading expert on Sasquatch.
