The Yeti

In 1832, an explorer traveled to the Himalayas.

The people there told him stories about a strange animal called a yeti. It lived in the snow, they said. It was very tall – much bigger than a man. The explorer didn’t believe the stories. “These people have probably seen a big monkey,” he thought.

But the stories about the yeti continued. A lot of the explorers went to the Himalayas:

They wanted to find the yeti. Some of the climbers told stories about a strange animal in the snow, but nobody came back with evidence.

In 1925, a photographer named Tombazi saw a yeti when he was climbing. It was about 300 meters away from him. He was with some other people, and they saw the yeti too. Tombazi tried to take a picture, but the yeti disappeared. Tombazi went to look at the snow and he found footprints. They were enormous!

The best clue about a yeti comes from China. There were stories about yetis from China too. A scientist called Gene Poirier traveled to farms in China and collected pieces of hair. When people examined their hair did not come from any normal animal. Maybe it’s the first real evidence of the yeti!
