Footprints of large ‘mystical’ beast found in Indian mountains

Mountaineers from the Indian army on a expedition in Nepal have found
mysterious large footprints in the snow that they think belong to the
Yeti, or the abominable snowman, the military said on Tuesday.
Largely regarded by the scientific community as a myth, the Yeti is
part of Nepali folklore and is said to live high in the snow-capped
Himalayas.
In a tweet accompanied by pictures, the Indian army said it had
sighted footprints measuring 32 by 15 inches (81 by 38 cm) close to a
camp near Mount Makalu on April 9.
“For the first time, an #IndianArmy Mountaineering Expedition Team
has sited Mysterious Footprints of mythical beast ‘Yeti’” it said in a
tweet, not explaining how a mythical beast could leave footprints.
Located on the border between Nepal and China, Makalu is among the
highest mountains in the world and stands near the Makalu-Barun valley, a
remote wilderness that has also been surveyed by researchers hunting
for the Yeti.
Tales of a wild hairy beast roaming the Himalayas have captured the
imagination of climbers in Nepal since the 1920s, prompting many,
including Sir Edmund Hillary, to go looking for the creature.
In 2008, Japanese climbers returning from a mountain in western Nepal
told Reuters they had seen footprints, which they thought belonged to
the Yeti.
And although they carried long-lens cameras, video cameras and
telescopes, they hadn’t seen or taken any photographs of the creature.
