What is 
Yeti?
The Yeti is a mythical beast 
purported to live in the 
Himalayan Mountain range. 
Sightings have been reported 
over the centuries, but we still 
rely on stories passed through 
oral history and not scientific 
evidence.

What is 
Yeti?
A fossil found by a French team 
of paleontologists in 2008 may 
be evidence of the existence of 
ancient Yetis that lived as long as 
40 million years ago. Some 
people have reported seeing a 
mysterious bipedal creature in 
mountainous regions and believe 
it to be the Yeti.

History of the Yeti
The larger species of bear, including the 
grizzly and particularly polar bears, may be 
mistaken for a Yeti due to their size, weight 
(not fur), and diet. The Yeti is a legendary 
creature in the Himalayas. According to one 
legend, the Yeti is a small humanoid creature 
that roams the cold, snowy peaks of the 
Himalayas.

History of the Yeti
Sightings of this creature have been 
reported since the 6th century B.C; when 
Alexander the Great allegedly demanded 
proof of its existence as he ruled over 
India. Other accounts from locals 
describe it as resembling a human-ape 
hybrid.

The Abominable 
Snowman
The Abominable Snowman is 
an elusive creature that has 
yet to be seen. However, early 
explorers claimed that they 
had seen the beast and even 
caught a glimpse of its 
footprints.

The Abominable 
Snowman
The book, Mount Everest, 
1938 by Bill Tilman includes 
an account of crossing the 
Lhagpa La at 21,000 ft where 
he found footprints that he 
believed "were probably 
caused by a large 'loping' gray 
wolf".

The Abominable 
Snowman
His Sherpa guides mentioned 
that the tracks must be that of 
'The Wild Man of the Snows', 
looking like a muscular bipedal 
creature, and then gave the 
name 'metch-kangmi'".

The Abominable 
"Metch" does noSt exnisto inw them an
Tibetan language; however it 
may be derived from Tilman's 
pronunciation of "metoh 
kangmi". During this expedition, 
he chronicled seeing many 
footprints that he believed were 
probably made by a large 
"loping" gray wolf in the soft 
snow which formed double 
tracks similar to those of a 
bare-footed man.

The Abominable 
Snowman
He and his Sherpa guides 
gave these prints the name 
"metoh-kangmi". The word 
"metoh" translates to 
"manbear" and "kangmi", 
which means snowman in 
Tibetan.

What Does Yeti Look 
Like?
The Yeti is often described as a 
large, ape-like being. It has black 
fur and white markings on its face 
and is described to have a strong 
scent. The characteristics most 
often associated are those of an 
apelike omnivore, with large eyes, 
long shaggy hair, and an enormous 
fur coat.

What Does Yeti Look 
Like?
They seem to be vegetarian and 
have been spotted eating berries 
and fruit. Because they are so 
elusive, it's hard to tell what they 
look like exactly. Also, because 
they mainly stay off the radar, we 
do not know how big they actually 
are or how tall they grow to be.
