The concept of Yeti, Sasquatch, Yowie, Bigfoot and even abominable snowmen is always problematic for me. More so in the heavily populated N America. Primates favor nests and we never find them anywhere. Like bears, they certainly sh~* in the woods, where are the dump traces? Can a 300lb+ adult find up to 4000 calories+ per day, year round? That level of sustenance requires (in the Everglades or Himalayas) a lot of foraging for food. Such movement would be hazardous to discovery by tracks or bumping into people. In winter, tracks are unavoidable. Where are their young and where are their dead? When tracks are found, it's often just a couple of big footprints from a solitary animal. Where are the family units? Big questions and no answers
There's a possibility they are a species of ETs.
"Chico (Venezuela) Dec 10 1954. Having seen a bright object land
near the Trans-Andean Highway, two young men approached
it, found it was shaped like two bowls glued
together, about 3 m diameter. The underside was a
source of fiery light. Four small beings emerged and
attacked them, in an apparent kidnapping attempt.
The dwarfs were extremely strong, their bodies covered
with hair. They fled into the machine, and it took
off."
"Maiquetia Airport (Venezuela) Aug 26 1967. Esteban D. Cova, a
private in the Marines, was relieved of duty at the airport
and returned to his quarters. Then he met an
ugly dwarf, 1 m tall, with a huge head, bulgy eyes, and
a body covered with "hairy stuff or wiry niclal," It
made a deep whistling sound, and Cova felt a prickling
sensation in his body. In perfect Spanish the
creature said: "Won't you come with me? We need
one human being." Cova fainted."
"Montlucon (France) Oct. 12,1954 evening.
A railroad employee, Mr.Laugerc, saw a torpedo-shaped,
metallic craft on theground near a gas-oil tank. An individual
covered with hair was standing nearby, emitting sounds that
were not understood. The witness went to get his friends,
but the thing disappeared in the meantime."

Also this excerpt from an interview with Patrick Huyghe, co-author of 'The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials: A Complete Overview of Alien Life Forms Based on Actual Accounts and Sightings' by Patrick Huyghe and Dennis Stacy.
"In the animalian category," continued Patrick, "I have five types, and one of them is the hairy mammalian. Obviously what some people are very familiar with are the Bigfoot-like creatures. Most of the time Bigfoot is not seen in relation to any kind of UFO, [but] there are a few incidents where a normal Bigfoot-type creature is seen in conjunction and proximity with a UFO. One of them took place on October 25, 1973 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. It was seen by a man named Steven Glosky and a couple of ten year old children. It was a very complicated case that was actually investigated by a psychiatrist named Berthold Schwartz," the author of an important book called UFO Dynamics (Rainbow Books, 1988). Dr. Berthold Schwartz was a guest on 21st Century Radio on 10/18/92."
That's why no remains has so far been found.

I still think that if a carcass is ever found, in any world location, the bigfoot, yeti, yowie will be a primate or
even hominid. Hominid fossils have been found in Australia and everywhere but America. If they are hominids, possibly they arrived in the same way the
other 350 million hominids did...they walked there. In looking for any support for a hominid argument, I found
this...
