Is this the yeti?

One of the most popular explanations of the yeti's origins is that it is the giant ape Gigantopithecus, whosefossilised remains have been found in India and China. Examination of the fossils indicates that Gigantopithecus lived between 12 million and 500,000 years ago. Also during this period, the Himalayas were rising by as much as 8,000 to 10,000 feet. Because of this increase in height of the mountians, many species of animals, including the yeti's ancestor, may have become isolated.

Some experts argue that though the yeti's footprints have been discovered above the snowline (a bare terrain that is unable to support a large mammal) its present home is acually lower down in the forested valleys. Here, vegetation is dense, fog is common and there are few human inhabitants to disturb the yeti. But, as a result of seasonal changes, they must sometimes cross the high snow passes to reach nearby valleys - and leave those telltale footprints.

the yeti and bigfoot are the same thing... just in a different place... bigfoot is rumored to live in the nortwest forests of the us, the yeti is in the mountains... the yeti is also known as the abominal snowman, but both are just supposed creatures that are part of evolution....

now i am just gonna sit down and have a nice plate of sasquatch and potatoes for breakfast... if you wil excuse me :p

Yep, Jon is right.

If you believe in surnatural crap like Ghost, you can't deny existance of some weird species that potentially can exist. E.g. there needed just to be some species fork in early time and evolution created two branches from the ape, one human and one 'Yeti'-like.
