Abominable Snowman

also known as the Yeti is said to inhabit remote areas of mountains and jungles. There is no definite evidence of the abominable snowman's existence and all facts about it are based entirely upon folk-tales and sightings by locals of the area and mountaineers.

A few footprints have reportedly been seen, these include a british army officer who saw what was thought to be Yeti footprints 21,000 feet up Everest in 1921 and a number of westerners who saw giant footprints in 1887. In 1937, photographs of footprints were taken by F.S.Smythe and in 1951 climber, Eric Shipton Found footprints in the snow. Up until present no Yeti bodies have ever been uncovered.

Some Himalayan Monasteries are said to contain Yeti scalps, although, these are thought to be made of goatskin.

Abominable Snowmen and Yetis are said to resemble a very hairy (or furry) man with some being brown in colour and others white.
