Indian Army Finds Evidence of the Elusive Yeti, Twitter Rejoices

On Monday, the Indian Army claimed that they discovered tracks from the mythical Himalayan snow beast known as a Yeti at one of their bases in the Himalayan mountains. They posted pictures of the alleged tracks on their Twitter account.

“For the first time, an #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team has sited Mysterious Footprints of mythical beast ‘Yeti’ measuring 32×15 inches close to Makalu Base Camp on 09 April 2019. This elusive snowman has only been sighted at Makalu-Barun National Park in the past.”

The Yeti, a creature similar to the mythical Sasquatch, is said to live in the mountains of Tibet according to Nepalese legend. Many people, including Western explorers and adventurers, have claimed to have encountered the creature. Some have even claimed to have retrieved physical evidence of the Yeti such as fur, a scalp, or hand; but after scientific analysis, it was determined that it wasn’t a Yeti, but rather some sort misclassified Himalayan wildlife – mostly bears. However, the alleged encounters have contributed to the spread of the local legend.

The claims made by the Indian Army stirred up some humorous responses, although not everyone was amused.

Daniel C. Taylor, author of “Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery,” argued that the footprints were probably those of multiple bears, instead of a singular creature.

“If that is the footprint of an animal or a single animal, it’s the size of a dinosaur,” Taylor told Reuters.

“One needs to really confirm those measurements of the footprint size because we know for sure that there are no dinosaurs living in the Barun valley,” he added according to The Daily Caller.

Since the people at Jack Links Beef Jerky have discovered the Sasquatch, and the Indian Army is now hot on the trail of the Yeti, one can only wonder if maybe if Scots might soon find the Loch Ness Monster? Or perhaps we can find that mythical kingdom Bernie Sanders talks about so much where Socialism actually creates a prosperous society.
