Mountaineers from the Indian army on a expedition in Nepal have found mysterious large footprints in the snow that they think belong to the 'Yeti', the military said
NEW DELHI - Mountaineers from the Indian army on a expedition in Nepal have found mysterious large footprints in the snow that they think belong to the Yeti, or the abominable snowman, the military said on Tuesday.
In a tweet accompanied by pictures, the Indian army said it had sighted footprints measuring 32 by 15 inches close to a camp near Mount Makalu on April 9. Daniel C. Taylor, who has extensively explored the Makalu-Barun area and written a book on the mystery of the Yeti, said the footprints were likely those of bears.
Tales of a wild hairy beast roaming the Himalayas have captured the imagination of climbers in Nepal since the 1920s, prompting many, including Sir Edmund Hillary, to go looking for the creature.
