The Yeti.

The yeti is believed to be a creature that lives in the mountains of the Himalayas. It is thought to be an ape like creature. It began as a legend where many Himalayan people believed in an ‘Ice Bear’ that would guard them while they were hunting.

Sightings.
Many Himalayan people and mountain climbers have reported sighting a Yeti over the last 150 years. Among the Himalayan people, these sightings are often passed down in the family.
In 1925, a photographer thought he saw a Yeti. He said he saw a man like creature walking along that was stopping to pull at some bushes now and again. He said it’s footprints were like a human’s but they were smaller.
There was a lot of interest in the Yeti during the 1950s as this was the decade in which many people went to the Himalayas to try to be the first to climb Mount Everest.
In 1954 a Yeti scalp was believed to have been found. Scientists studied this but it was found to have belonged to hooved animal like a goat.
People have reported sightings of creatures that are ape like or even bear like. Sometimes hair samples have been found up in the snow and these have been taken in to scientists and biologists. But every time these have turned out to actually belong to other animals.

Are there really Yeti in the Himalayas?
There are other animals that live around the Himalayan mountains that are often mistaken for Yeti. The Langur monkey, the Tibetan blue bear and the Himalayan brown bear are often thought to be Yeti from a distance. There have been serious expeditions in to these mountains with scientists looking to find evidence of the Yeti, but there has still not been any true evidence ever found to prove that they are real.
But the Himalayan mountains are very large and there would be lots of places for a Yeti to hide without ever being discovered by humans. Maybe people have just been looking in the wrong places?
