Scientists and yeti enthusiasts believe there may finally be solid evidence that the apelike creature roams the vast Siberian tundra, reports the Guardian.
A team of a dozen-plus experts from as far afield as Canada and Sweden have proclaimed themselves 95% certain of the mythical animal's existence after a daylong conference in the town of Tashtagol in the Kemerovo region, some 2,000 miles east of Moscow. In recent years, locals there have reported sightings of the yeti, also known as the abominable snowman.
The Kemerovo government announced on Oct. 10 that a two-day expedition the previous weekend to the region's Azassky cave and Karatag peak "collected irrefutable evidence" of yetis' existence on the wintry plateau.
"Conference participants came to the conclusion that the artifacts found give 95% evidence of the habitation of the 'snow man' on Kemerovo region territory," read a statement. "In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti," it added. The group also discovered footprints, a presumed bed and various other markers.
The scientific community has historically disputed the existence of the yeti given scant conclusive evidence. But numerous sightings of such creatures have been reported in Himalayan countries and in North America, where it is known as Sasquatch, or bigfoot.

Seems the Global Warming scientists have found themselves a new gig.
On a related note...the pot of today is far stronger than it was when we were kids. :{)
Wow..scientists and experts say..
Big deal, we’ve got a Wookiee in the White House.
Just Michelle on yet another shopping adventure.
30 years ago, I mounted an expedition into the NW Washington area to look for evidence of the Yeti. We inadvertently got on to an Indian Reservation. We ran into an obviously Native American who asked “What are you doing here?” I told him “We are looking for Sasquatch.” He asked “What?” I said, “You know, a big hairy, stinking thing.” He said “OOHH. You mean squaw snatch.” Sorry, couldn’t resist.
The write left out the “self proclaimed expert”. Have they found the vampires caskets as well.
And ManBearPig was found in Colorado.
My guess is that these creatures are the illegitimate offspring of Michelle Obama.
I wouldn’t want to guess who the father(s) might be, but I’d bet that Reid doesn’t have an alibi.
Ugly, monster butts, knuckle draggers, cold blooded.... it all fits.
I bet that a bare chested Putin will go after it...
I thought we had bigfoot in the white house...
Yes, of course...and their explanation for never EVER finding a carcass of one of these things or a hunter ever shooting one? TIME is so gay...
Not sure how to take this one. May be of interest....
Magellan “discovered” them in South America on his fateful round-the-world-the-wrong-way voyage, naming them “Patagons” (bigfeet)and their desolate land “Patagonia”. They even captured a pair, who died of malnutrition aboard ship. Seems they had a ravenous appetite.
Don’t believe me? You can look it up!
I saw a bunch of leaf-eared yetis on Wall street. 100% verified.
Whoever thought the National Enquirer would be doing legitimate political investigations (John “Silky Pony” Edwards) and that TIME would be writing about Sasquatch?
