    Default All about the Yeti


    A Russian region in Siberia on Monday confidently proclaimed that its mountains are home to yetis after finding "indisputable proof" of the existence of the hairy beasts in an expedition.

    The local administration of the Kemerovo region in the south of Siberia said in a statement on its website that footprints and possibly even hair samples belonging to the yeti were found on the research trip to its remote mountains.

    "During the expedition to the Azasskaya cave, conference participants gathered indisputable proof that the Shoria mountains are inhabited by the 'Snow Man'," the Kemerovo region administration said in a press-release.

    The expedition was organised after Kemerovo's governor invited researchers from the United States, Canada, and several other countries to share their research and stories of encounters with the creature at a conference.

    "They found his footprints, his supposed bed, and various markers with which the yeti marks his territory," the statement said. The collected "artifacts" will be analysed in a special laboratory, it said.

    Yetis, or Abominable Snowmen, are hairy ape-like creatures of popular myth, that are generally held to inhabit the Himalayas.

    But some believe Russia also holds a population of yetis, which it calls Snow Men, in remote areas of Siberia.

    Kemerovo region's Shoria is a sparsely populated territory in Western Siberia that has historically been a territory of coal and metal mining.

    The region, the administrative center of Kuznetsk coal basin, has pursued the elusive Yeti for several years as it tries to develop tourism into its mostly industrial economy.

    Considering the latest findings, the region may "create a special research center to study the Yeti" in the regional university and "create a journal" dedicated to the science of the Yeti, the administration's statement said.

    A conference has announced that given recent evidence they are 95 percent convinced the yeti, a mythical or perhaps actual primate, exists in the cold wilds of Siberia. Scientists and cryptozoologists (those who have a fascination for the 'study of hidden species' such as Bigfoot) met in the Kemerovo region of Russia to exchange information on the yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, and to conduct fieldwork. According to a statement from the conference, members found new evidence of the yeti's cryptic existence.

    "During an expedition to the Azasskuyu cave, conference members collected irrefutable evidence of the habitation of the Snow Man in the Shoria Mountains. They found his footprints, his supposed bed, and various markers with which the yeti marks his territory," reads a statement from the conference.

    A Russian scientists, Anatoly Fokin, also found several hairs that he said may belong to the yeti. 'Yeti hairs' collected in the Himalayas recently turned out to be those of a goral, a wild ungulate. The hairs from Russia will be analyzed as well.

    Conference members, however, did not come away with photographs, video, or most importantly for skeptics an actual yeti—living or dead—to prove its existence, but still stated there was 95 percent certainty of its existence.

    Some media outlets have labeled the conference largely a publicity stunt to attract tourists to the remote region, currently dominated by coal and metal industries. Conference members came from as far afield as the US, Canada, Spain, Sweden and Mongolia.

    However, some well-respected scientists, such as Jane Goodall, have said it's possible a large undiscovered primate still exists and is the source of sightings around the yeti, sasquatch, or Sumatra's orang pendak.

    Although newly discovered mammals are usually rodents or bats, there have been new monkeys discovered in Africa, Asia, and South America recently. Still these are small animals, nothing close to the reputed size of a yeti.

    "We have concluded that these living beings are in principle human beings because they can even talk and communicate with people," Igor Burtsaev who initiated the conference recently said. "They are another species that differ from us, of course. Yetis are well adapted to nature. Their life style is similar to that of animals. They do not use tools, clothes or fire but are quite intelligent." Burtsaev believes these 'beings' may be long-surviving populations of Neanderthals, which most scientists say went extinct over 30,000 years ago.

    The conference was the first in half a century to bring yeti experts together. There is talk of creating a yeti research center in Russia.

    Ah, The elusive big foot creature. If this creature does exist I hope its left alone! This creature has made a choice to live away from man

    I agree 100% Jagman. This species if it exists needs to be left the F#'K alone by us savage people, it has survived ( if real ) this long without any human intervention and I dare say that one day we may need to learn how to survive from such species.....

    We may find that yeti and bigfoot are Dick Cheney style Chew-bacca's whom were prosecuted and sent away from their home world to live on a planet with totally alien beings.

    I've always been suspicious that if "bigfoot" does exist he may very well be just a group of aliens studying the fauna and flora of the planet with a complete indifference to humans.

    This could be why we never find bones.

    So, where´s the evidence! I´d love to see it! Personally, I believe it´s very possible for such beings to exist. A legend never comes out of nowhere.

    Some people believe they are magical beings with the ability to teleport, become invisible and such things....Others believe they are simply Neanderthals...

    Who knows...

    There are counterparts to the yeti in many countries around the world. A great website which has bigfoot/sasquatch sound recordings is here www.bigfootsounds.com The vocalisations really have that 'something' about them. In Australia we have the yowie, and a good resource for sighting reports is here www.yowiehunters.com Dean Harrison, who runs the site, regularly goes out on expeditions and interviews witnesses. They have the Yeren in China www.unknown-creatures.com/yeren.html the Hibagon in Japan www.occultopedia.com/h/hibagon.htm the Orang Pendek in Sumatra and many others. A group of explorers to the underground tunnel system many years ago came across a bad-ass variant which was constantly battling the giant serpents under the Earth.

    It will be fascinating once this is all over to finally have benevolent contact with them, and to build a greater understanding and affinity for them.

    There will come a time when we will meet and connect at a level that is simply......for lack of words- in a form of no-thought. They are highly empathic and connected to the spirit of earth. They don't want anything to do with us in our current state- it would hurt them and terrify them not anything to do with the physical, but in the same way animals instinctively know to stay away from us.

    Is the Yeti nesting in Siberia? Strange twisted tree arches 'prove legendary creature exists'

    Twisted branches found in Kemerovo region could finally prove Yeti is no longer the stuff of legends.

    By Lucy Buckland

    15th November 2011

    Hunters are claiming they have discovered the nest of a legendary Yeti tucked away in a remote area of Russia.

    And experts are hailing the discovery of bizarrely twisted trees in the Kemerovo region as the final piece in the puzzle to prove the abominable snowman is real.

    Experts stumbled across the trees, twisted by force to form an arch, in the area -which is known for sightings of the wildman.

    And Yeti experts who met at a conference in Moscow to discuss the find mounted an exhibition to Siberia to see the nest for themselves.

    Biologist John Bindernagel, 69, told The Sun, 'We didn't feel like the trees we saw in Siberia had been done by a man or another mammal.

    'Twisted trees like this have also been observed in North America and they could fit in with the theory that Bigfoot makes nests.'


    Hunted: An artist's impression shows a primitive Yeti emerging from a cave

    Sightings of the Yeti have been reported in France, North America and the Himalayas but Dr Bindernagel said these are mainly ignored by scientists who are put off by 'jokes and taboos.'
    He told The Sun: 'I am nearly 70 so time is running out for me.'

    The latest discovery comes a month after Russian officials said they found ‘indisputable evidence’ that yetis exist.

    Their claim followed an international conference and expedition to track down the Abominable Snowman in the Mount Shoria area.

    However, doubt was already been cast over the ‘find’ – as the team has no convincing photographic or DNA evidence.

    Their claim appears to be based a single unclear footprint and a small sample of grey ‘hair’, found in a cave.

    The administration of the Kemerovo region, where the cave is situated, yesterday announced that ‘indisputable evidence’ had been found.

    But critics said the expedition was more about making the area a tourist destination than true science.


    Evidence: Vladimir Makouta, head of Siberia's Tastagol district administration, and the sheriff of the area's Kabyrza settlement, show twisted aspen branches believed to have been caused by a Yeti


    Made by a legend? Experts say these arches prove a Yeti has been trawling the region and had nested nearby


    On the trail: this strange footprint found in the snow was also hailed as proof the Yeti exists

    Researchers who led the search said that they are closer than ever to catching one the creatures.

    'During the expedition to the Azasskaya cave, conference participants gathered indisputable proof that the Shoria mountains are inhabited by the Snow Man,' the Kemerovo region administration announced yesterday.

    'They found his footprints, his supposed bed, and various markers with which the Yeti uses to denote his territory.'

    The markers appeared to be mainly broken trees and some Russian media reports have treated the Yeti claims with considerable scepticism.

    Despite this, the local government officials professed themselves either certain or 95 per cent certain of the existence of Yeti in a highland area known as Mount Shoria.


    The hair thought to be from a Yeti was found in the Kemerovo region 2,600 miles east of Moscow

    An American housewife told a previous conference she regularly feeds Yeti in her back garden in Michigan but was unable to produce a single photograph of an elusive creature rumoured to exist for thousands of years.

    One cynical Russian media report summed up the mission as 'we haven't actually found anything, but we very, very much wanted to have found something'.

    Shortly before the 'experts' arrived, another hunt to the same cave to find the Yeti was led by the 'Beast of the East' - former Russian heavyweight boxing champion Nikolai Valuyev. It ended in failure, though locals saw it as a key plank in the region's bid to boost tourism.
    'Valuyev did not manage to meet the Yeti itself but on the way he discovered 'traces' such as broken tree branches,' said a spokesman.

    'I saw lots of journalists but no Yetis,' admitted the boxer.

    Dmitry Islamov, Vice Governor of Kemerovo Region on Economics and Regional Development said: 'It doesn't matter that the Kuzbass might not have Yetis. The main thing is that when people come to the Shoria Mountains, they truly enjoy its unique nature.'

    Quote STILL AT LARGE: THE HISTORY OF THE YETI
    • The first accounts of Yetis emerged before the 19th century from Buddhists who believed that the creature inhabited the Himalayas.
    • They depicted the mysterious beast as having similarities to an ape and carrying a large stone as a weapon while making a whistling sound.
    • Popular interest in creature gathered pace in early 20th century as tourists began making their own trips to the region to try and capture the Yeti. They reported seeing strange markings in the snow.
    • The Daily Mail led a trip called the the Snowman Expedition in 1954 to Everest. During the trip mountaineering leader John Angelo Jackson photographed ancient paintings of Yetis and large footprints in the snow.
    • A number of hair samples were also found that were believed to have come from a Yeti scalp.
    • British mountaineer Don Whillans claimed to have witnessed a creature when scaling Annapurna in 1970.

    Oxford University Is Hunting For the Yeti
    While most of us probably suspect that the yeti is a mythical beast, the finest minds in the world beg to differ. Which is why Oxford University has just announced that it is going on a yeti hunt, to establish once and for all whether the creature has ever existed.

    In collaboration with the Lausanne Museum of Zoology, Oxford University is inviting people and organisations with supposed evidence of the existence of the yeti to submit it for testing. Anyone can submit an entry, and in the first instance all that's required is some data about the sample: what it is, when and where it was collected, that kind of thing.

    Once they've received a respectable number of samples, they'll choose the most convincing and ask the owners to send them in for scrutiny—including thorough genetic analysis. With any luck, the study should bring together the strongest evidence around the world to settle the issue once and for all. Bryan Sykes, from Oxford University, explained to Wired.co.uk:

    "Theories as to their species identification vary from surviving collateral hominid species, such as Homo neanderthalensis or Homo floresiensis, to large primates like Gigantopithecus widely thought to be extinct, to as yet unstudied primate species or local subspecies of black and brown bears.

    "Mainstream science remains unconvinced by these reports both through lack of testable evidence and the scope for fraudulent claims. However, recent advances in the techniques of genetic analysis of organic remains provide a mechanism for genus and species identification that is unbiased, unambiguous and impervious to falsification. It is possible that a scientific examination of these neglected specimens could tell us more about how Neanderthals and other early hominids interacted and spread around the world."

    The myth—or true story, let's be open-minded if Oxford professors are being—is known across countries and cultures throughout the world, so the university can expect a wide range of samples to be put forward. If you're on the hunt yourself, the researchers point out that hair shafts are particularly desirable
