The Mythical Snow Monster that Roams the Mountains: The Yeti
The Gazette ^ | Mon, January 11, 2021

Posted on 01/16/2021 11:01:17 PM PST by nickcarraway

In Asia, a huge, hairy ape-man stomps through the snowy Himalayan mountain range, hunting for prey and terrorizing local people.

Or so the legend goes.

For generations, stories of the yeti, aka the abominable snowman, have been told. Does he live in an icy cave? Is he related to Bigfoot, the ape-man said to roam the forests of the northwestern United States? Is the monster real?

According to the BBC, the mythical monster is rooted in the folklore of the Sherpa, the communities that live in the mountains of eastern Nepal.

The yeti or a group of yetis always are a symbol of danger in Sherpa folklore. In some stories, the yeti sets his sights on and attacks a group of hunters or kidnaps a child from town. Nearly all of the yeti legends are a warning to stay home or to avoid dangerous wild animals.

But is the yeti real? Some people believe so, though there’s little hard evidence yet. Giant footprints, seemingly too big to be from a bear or a man, have been found in the snow, and many explorers have reported seeing eight-foot tall creatures walking the mountain ranges, according to Live Science.

There was no such thing as the Giagantopithicus.

Those are Bigfoot bones.

Prove me wrong!

I am sure that such a sighting will be taken note of by your therapist and by your eye care specialist.

How come they never get caught on a trail cam? It’s always from a mile away on a flip phone.

The Yeti is a myth, much like the sasquatch or the shiksa.

My wife got me 3 Yetis for Christmas.

.Coffee Mug Yeti

. Wine tumbler Yeti (We strongly suggest buying the lid that goes on top.

. The standard tall Yeti that fits into the cup holders in my pickup or wife’s car.

Really glad that I didn't have a mouthful of coffee from my new Coffee Mug Yeti, when I saw this terrible photo of Mike!

“My wife got me 3 Yetis for Christmas“

Well my cousin got a divorced shiksa girlfriend in place of his wife and now the kids have a Hanukkah and three Christmases.
