Pretty cool! So, already we know it's not a mammal known to inhabit the area!

And for the author's sake, it would be a Yeti.

If it's situated in the Himalayas, the term "Yeti" is used. If it's in China, it's normally called a yeren.

But still, exciting news!

Scientists in the US who have examined hairs claimed to belong to a yeti in India say that in fact they belong to a species of Himalayan goat. They say that DNA tests on the hairs - obtained from the north-east Indian state of Meghalaya - show that they are from a goat known as a Himalayan Goral.

Well, this information does not rule out the possibility that the YETI
consumed the mountain goat and didn't clean up all the hairs of it's dinner Entre'

Aren't you guys tired of this "hair-strand / footprint / chimpanzee-mother-in-law-look-a-like" crap?

Someone needs to shoot and kill the dam thing.

If anything, at least tranq it and haul it in.

I really want to spot one of these things, all we ever encounter are deer, elk, and the rest of the forest dwellers...

Maybe these creatures are outcasts/rogues, and the rest of the population lives underground...

For centuries there has been a rumor of a half man, half man that roams the upper Himalayas.

If he is half man and half man, I think its safe to say that it's a man…

Heh, I saw the goof, but that was the web site's fault.

Dont cross out the possiblity that the yeti could have eaten an animal in the area. I bet alot of animals in that area have white coat so it is possible either way.

This is why it hides from you!

Take it from me, being just the 'half-man' part is enough!!

Seriously though, I believe you aren't gonna catch one of these
creatures using the techniques tried today.
It seems to me, that it is obvious that these beings aren't as
'animal-like' as we think.
They can out-think man for a start, you ain't got a corpse,
a decent photo or video of them, there's always, always
inconclusive information regarding hairs found... they're
out-smarting us up to now!

It's the documentaries of Bigfoot investigation teams I love.
We show up as a group, light a fire... a fire! and set out our
large, colorful tents. In our orange and blue waterproof outfits,
we trample our way through the forest and ponder where to put
our spy cameras. The wildlife flees from this cacophony of sound
and we're left, wrapped in our nice smelling clothes with our non-
scented deodorant, puzzled and perplexed.

There's the spokesperson for the group, who explains to the poor
inexperienced viewers that when traveling in the NorthWest woods,
it's prudent to be as quiet as possible.
Really?... THEN SHUT UP THEN!!

You can spend years in there, and I can assure you... with this
'city-like' view on hunting, you're gonna come up with nothing.
Oh!... wait a minute?... we HAVE nothing.

The only other explanation is that all of these sightings are
hoaxes and that TV and other agencies are exploiting the niave
hopes of some of their fellow man.
Not quite a Bigfoot trait, so the hairy woodsmen may not be
that close to us on the family tree!

The Bigfeet must be rolling around on the pine needles killing
themselves laughing at our hunting prowess!

It couldn't be a goat. It doesn't match any animals that roam near the mountain.

There was a supposed yeti skull cap that is in a temple in the general area there.
They released it for study and the geneticists who worked on it stated it also belonged to a goat.

That really doesn't take as that far, does it? Mammals are not really the only creatures to have fur..

Can you please give an example of a non-mammal that has true fur or hair?
Thank you
