Russian Bigfoot DNA Analyzed By Scientists: Yeti Or Yogi?
Bigfoot DNA is in the news again. Over the last three years, the Russian Bigfoot, or Yeti, was claimed to be a “towering, long-haired beast roaming the Mount Shoria region of southern Russia.” This potential Bigfoot has left clumps of hair in caves that scientists have just now analyzed.
Professor Bryan Sykes of Oxford’s Wolfson Institute has led a global genetics project to test hair samples from possible Bigfoots. Professor Sykes told The Sun what he thought about this Bigfoot DNA:
“The hairs did not come from a yeti. The American black bear result was highly unusual. An explanation could be an animal escaped from a circus, zoo or private collection, but it is extraordinary.”
The distinctive hair is now thoughts to have come from a rare type of black bear from North America which has a scientific classification of Ursus americanus. The other two potential Bigfoot DNA samples turned out to be from a raccoon and a horse.
These black bears can reach seven feet, just like the yeti sighted at Shoria, but experts are puzzled since they would expect the hair to be from an Asiatic black bear, which can be throughout Russia, instead of a bear species normally confined to North America. The working hypothesis is that the North American black bear is an escaped circus animal.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, potential Bigfoot DNA made headlines earlier when a Dr. Melba Ketchum spent the past five years pouring over Sasquatch samples collection from various North American locales. After a thorough scientific examination of the evidence, Ketchum declared that the legendary creature is strikingly similar to human beings.

"Yeti Or Yogi?"
Neither ... it's a hallucination caused by too much Russian vodka!
Apparently Janet Reno’s been camping.
“The distinctive hair is now thoughts to have come from a rare type of black bear from North America”
And does this black bear have eerie human grunts that sound like “let’s move!”

I’ve never seen a Bigfoot and a UFO at the same time, that must mean something.
More importantly, can the yeti be trained to play football.
Actual evidence of a bigfoot caught on tape at following youtube video:

Ya know....I really ate up Yeti, Big Foot, UFO’s, Aliens, Ghosts,....I was convinced!
Then I turned 13.....
There are two people in the White House who have big feet. And one of them has a big butt. Has either of them been to Russian lately?
I think the highest likelihood is that it’s usually a person wearing a bear skin coat/suit and clown-size snowshoes/fake feet. It explains the bipedalism, elusive behavior, intelligence, and even the lack of evidence. An animal that big would have been captured by now.
LOL,CE3K?
