| | | Yeti !
Hi
did anyone see the programme last night " monster hunters ". They went to the Himalayas looking for the Yeti and found footprints.
So ,what do you think? Do you think it is possible for such an creature to be roaming the earth? Would you like there to be?
Me, I'm open minded , I'd like to think there is.

I think , or I would like to think that there is something out there . Be it Yeti or even Bigfoot . There does seem to be a lot of evidence over the years that there could be . I always remember reading in the fifties " The Long Walk " by Slavomir Rawicz , where during his escape from Russia he spotted a Yeti . I think it must have been the first time I'd ever heard of one . I think it is totally feasible , especially when you look at the terrain , there are still areas to explore . |

I remember Arthur C Clarke had books on yeti, sasquatch reported here in britain. Though to me these creatures seem to tie neatly with African Faery.

With so many species of primates etc., why not? I don't know about the supposed ability of being bullet-proof and with red eyes though...

A new species of primate has been spotted only about 2 years back to us westerners. Mid way in size to chimp and Gorilla

Yes Jez!
My students were doing some research a couple of years ago and came up with that story too!
If I remember it correctly it was a new type of chimp but about 3 times the size and there were some hazy pictures too. It was in west Africa, somewhere remote.
Haven't heard of it since, must do a Google on it!

Don't the Australians have a similar sort of thing, a "Bunyip" or something?
Nothing like it!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip
