Yeti's fur DNA tested...

According to this story, fur found in the Himalayas has been DNA tested and matches that of a 40,000-year old Polar Bear jaw bone.

It seems the Yeti is real!

Well that's pretty disappointing, I had always hoped it was an off shoot of the primate family.

After reading the brief article, what they have come up with does seem somehow plausible in a Murphy's Law soft of way.


Thanks for posting this I haven't seen this yeti.

It seems that Yeti is bear, that is, apelike bear acording to local testemonies

It's Bear but unlike any Bear they have on Record...Would be interesting to actually see one.

It seems there might be or have been bears in the Himalaya's, it certainly doesn't prove there's some kinds of human ape like creature walking about.

Legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner, who became the first man to climb Everest without oxygen, has studied yetis since he had a terrifying encounter with a mysterious creature in Tibet in 1986.

He uncovered an image in a 300-year-old Tibetan manuscript of a "Chemo" - another local name for the yeti, with text alongside it which was translated to read: "The yeti is a variety of bear living in inhospitable mountainous areas."

yep sounds like bear.
