The Yeti – fact or fiction?

In 1921 a British climbing expedition to Mount Everest saw what they thought were humans high up in the mountains. When they reached 6,500 metres, they saw giant footprints in the snow. The leader thought they were wolf tracks which had got bigger as the snow melted. Local guides, though, claimed that they were Yeti footprints. What is a Yeti? No one really knows, but in 1951 another group of climbers saw a footprint and took a photograph of it. Scientists who looked at the photo said that it didn't look like the footprint of any animal known. Could there really be a Yeti? Locals claim that Yetis are no danger to people, but that they have eaten farm animals. They are shy and usually go around alone or in pairs. One climber who said that he had seen a yeti claimed that it had stood about two metres tall and had been covered in hair. Locals are sure that Yetis are still living in the mountains. I'm sure that one day someone will catch a Yeti and we shall find out all about this mysterious creature.
