Yeti – Alive And Well?
December 3, 2007 by Kimberly
Exotic Animal Newsflash:
The Yeti has aroused the imaginations of 9 US-based TV producers of the show, “Destination Truth”. This show researches unexplained phenomenon and the world’s most notorious crypto-zoological animals.
Armed with a team, including local sherpa porters, they have gone into the Himalayas to seek the long-searched for Yeti.
It is reported that they have found a fresh set of footprints on the bank of the Manju River in the Khumbu Region, near Mount Everest. They appear to have been made about 24 hrs prior to the discovery. One of the 3 footprints found on Wednesday is about 1 foot long…
An archaeologist with the team reported that they do not appear to be the footprints of a bear, but it is somewhat of a mystery what animal made them…
Nonetheless, it was such a pristine footprint that the team felt it warranted more research into this subject to find the truth.
Local sherpas believe that the Himalayas are the home of these strange creatures, some describing it as a protector, and some as a destroyer. Even the chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association in Kathmandu, who is from the Khumbu region himself, states, “There is a kind of mysterious creature that lives in the Himalayas.”

The Yeti is an ape-like creature, “wild man” or “man beast”, and is in many legends of folklore in a number of different places in the world. Other names include Big Foot, Sasquatch, and the Abominable Snowman, among other names I cannot pronounce…LOL
Yet all of these creatures are said to walk upright on 2 legs…In other words, they are bipedal.
Photo Right: Typical depiction of what these creatures would look like
The Yeti’s habitat is the Mountains and it hails from Nepal. After centuries of sightings, expeditions and inconclusive evidence, people are still investigating the existence of this creature.
The status of this animal is unconfirmed as of yet, making the creature that people are seeing a UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal) studied by crypto-zoologists the world over!
Leave a comment below and tell me what YOU think!
I hope you enjoyed today’s installment of Exotic Animal Lover! Until next time…
Live Exotically,

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, the film that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin made in 1967 in Northern California at Bluff Creek of Bigfoot was real. No matter what anyone said, it was real. Here is what they filmed on October 20 1967.
Several thousand years ago there were thousands of slaves that ran off around the world and started their own countries. When these slaves ran off there was a large group of men and boys of all different ages and sizes that took off and ended up in Africa. Some of them were giants as tall as 9 ft. or even taller. The giant named Goliath that David killed with his slingshot was 9 ft. tall. So there were giant men in those days. Some of these men and boys went exploring to Borneo and caught female Orangutans and took them to South America and had sex with them and created the Indians. The men and boys that stayed in Africa caught female Gorillas and had sex with them and created the Africans. When scientists found the bones in Africa they thought we evolved naturally from a female Chimpanzee. But it wasn’t a natural evolution it was a man made evolution. That’s where all the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures come from. They are half man and half Gorilla and half man and half Orangutan. They use to call the Indians the red man. The Orangutan has reddish hair. When those men bred out the hair the Indian’s skin remained red. The Gorilla ahs black hair and skin. When those men bred out the hair the African’s skin remained black. Some of the Indians and Africans are tall. And some of the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures are tall. They are tall because some of the men that created them were tall. Some scientists believe that we evolved naturally from a female Chimpanzee. Have you ever seen an 8 ft. tall Chimpanzee? I haven’t either. Bigfoot migrated up through Africa and came into the United States at the top of Africa when they were connected by land. The Orangutan creatures migrated up through Central America and came into the United States like the Indians did. The creature that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed in 1967 was half man and half Gorilla. It was a female Bigfoot that they named Patty. Patty was not a man in a costume, she is not our missing link and she is not a figment of our imagination. Patty was a creature that was created by men that had sex with female Gorillas and Orangutans a long time ago. Believe it or not, man created his own evolution. Bye you all
I have no idea what to say to that theory, JC. I’m not sure I believe that exact idea on what makes Bigfoot a Bigfoot, or what makes Indians Indians or Africans Africans. In fact, I don’t think I believe that theory.
However, that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s possible that there is a bigfoot out there. Au contraire – there definitely could be.
I’m not sure I’ve actually seen the footage of Gimlin and Patterson, but I’m sure it’s compelling.
Thanks for taking the time to share with us. It’s much appreciated. I hope you come on back again soon with some thoughtful comments!

JC – That’s some interesting thought there, man. Kimberly, do you see the controversy you’re raising!? LOL!!
