As icy temperatures blast much of the northern hemisphere and winter approaches with chilling speed, a mysterious creature from the Himalayas reminds us that the north is home to more than just snow.
This mysterious creature often takes a backseat to the more notable Bigfoot. However, similar in stature and structure to Bigfoot, the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman as he’s sometimes called, is best known for inhabiting the Himalayan Mountains and is an indispensable part of local lore in Nepal and the surrounding area. Sightings of the creature have also been reported in other parts of the world, including the United States.
