Yeti
Last updated 6 October 2019
(Yeti, n.d.)
“A legendary creature, the Abominable Snowman is said to inhabit the Himalayas above the snow line. Although several attempts have been made to sight it, the Abominable Snowman has so far proved elusive. Strange tracks found on the snow, believed to have been made by the Abominable Snowman, are said to actually be footprints of bears.
The Abominable Snowman is known as the Yeti in Tibet and the Nee-gued in the state of Sikkim in northeast India.”
