The Abominable Snowman

He has been call the missing link or half-man, half-beast. He is huge, maybe as much as 2.5 meters or about eight foot tall. His body is covered with long brown hair but his face is hairless. His head is pointed, but he looks like a man. He walks upright, standing on two feet. He lives near the top of the highest mountain in the world – Mount Everest. He is known as the Abominable Snowman. The legend of the Abominable Snowman is not new. For years, local people have reported seeing the creature they call “Yeti” -- the all-eating animal – come down from the mountains and attack villagers. Climbers in the 1920s reported stories of huge footprints they saw high in the Himalayas – footprints unlike any animal’s they had seen before. In 1951, the explorer Eric Shipton took photographs of enormous tracks in the snow of Mount Everest. Shipton concluded that these footprints could not have been the tracks of any ordinary animal. He assumed that the Abominable Snowman really existed and must have walked around that area. These days, few people still believe in the Abominable Snowman. There have only been footprints in the snow as evidence of this creature. Scientists say there should have been more evidence. They suggest that the tracks may have been bear tracks. The sun can cause tracks to melt, and so, when the tracks refreeze, they look like large footprints, such as those on Mount Everest. If anyone ever succeeds in catching an Abominable Snowman, they may face a real problem: Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?
