Does the Snow-man 'Yeti' really exist?

The legend has it that in the mighty frozen wastes of Himalayan Mountains lives a huge, hairy man like creature. The natives of Tibetans called it as Yeti, and many of them claim to have seen it. They call it the Yeti. It is also even thought by some, to be a sort of missing link between man and apes.

Some years ago, a group of European mountaineers on an expedition to the Mount Everest, found a huge footprint outside their camp one morning. As expected they were astonished as they had never seen such a large footprint before. There was immediate speculation that this was a Yeti footprint, but more or less it was a hoax.

Sightings have been reported form Nepal (where the creature is known as Yeti) and from parts of China, Siberia, and other areas in Asia. Sightings have also been reported in North America, where the Abominable Snowman is called Bigfoot in the United States and Sasquatch in Canada. These creatures are said to be elusive; to be heavily built, apelike, hairy, and malodorous, with facial features resembling those of a human being; and to communicate by grunts, cries, or whistles. The Abominable Snowman or Yeti, the legendary wild man of the Himalayas is still a mystery for many and more of a myth!

So far, no one has been able to prove the existence of a Yeti by either capturing one or taking a conclusive photograph. But seriously if we give a thought to it, may be that in the inhospitable landscape of the Himalayas, it might be possible for such a creature to live practically undetected.

Many doubt the existence of the Abominable Snowman and its counterparts because any conclusive physical evidence has not been found. Also, because the sightings often occur in remote areas and from a considerable distance, the chances of mistaken identification are great. Skeptics interpret the "Abominable Snowman" sightings as a reflection of the modern fascination with the wild and the popular sense that a few pockets of wilderness remain in a world dominated by civilization.
