The Yeti is a large ape like creature which is said to inhabit the Himalayan ranges. It is a Tibetan word which translates into “rock bear” in English. The Yeti is yet another of those legendary creatures whose existence is yet to be proved beyond doubts
It is described variously by various people. The most common description amounts to a hairy biped creature with big feet, almost identical to a human in shape.
The reports of the Yeti date as far back as the 1920s. Tombazi, a Greek photographer had spotted such a creature in the Himalayas and described it as a creature looking like a human walking upright. The footprints that he found were way larger than a human’s. the reports do not end there. Many more sightings were reported in the 20th century.

The so called rumours of the Yeti had become so popular that it began to feature in comic books and movies. The character called ‘Wampa’ in the movie ‘Star Wars‘ seem to be based on the Yeti. More recently a similar creature featured in the Walt Disney movie ‘Monsters Inc’. it also featured in the hit comic series the adventures of ‘Tintin’ ( Tintin in Tibet).
Is the Yeti a myth? A question that could remain unanswered for a long time.
