People were on the Moon. People are exploring the outer space. But people still have mysteries on their own planet. So many unexplored places and phenomena are still waiting for their discoverers. One of such unexplored places is the Himalayas, where mysterious Yetis live. Of course, people do not know where Yeti’s village is, and they are not friendly neighbors, but the fact that Yetis exist cannot be denied. Too many proofs are already found.
 
Unexplored Areas.
 
First of all, it is necessary to note that western people knew nothing about Yeti up to the 20th century, because those territories were closed for them. Western mountaineers, scientists and simply activists started researching the territories of the Himalayas relatively recently, from the early 20th century. Before that time the Himalayas especially their Nepalese and Tibetan part was absolutely unexplored. Moreover, it was almost uninhabited.
 
Different People Usually Do Not Tell the Same Story.
 
It is surprising, but Indian, Nepalese and Tibetan people describe the mysterious creature in the same way. Of course, they give different names to the mystical inhabitants of the mountains: Yeti, Metoh-Kangmi, Meh-The and many others. Too many legends and stories give the same precise description of the creature: huge, dark-haired, human-like, and bipedal.
 
It Cannot Be Seen, But It Can Be Heard.
 
Some people may argue that those are silly legends of rural people. But a lot of villages, western mountaineers and scientists heard the horrible sound, which was a roar of some unknown creature. It is so terrifying that some people do not risk not only to go and look what it is, but even do not risk to move. And in the Himalayas people have to hear such roars very often, as if it was a kind of recurrent call.
 
Too Many Witnesses Exist.
 
Apart from folklore, legends, and horrible sounds a lot of people report that they saw or even met Yeti. The local police officers often receive reports from people who saw Yeti, or witnessed how it attacked their livestock. A lot of people write books about their experiences in the Himalayas. For example, Reinhold Messner, in his book My Quest for the Yeti, wrote how he met Yeti; he also depicted some stories of local people who saw this creature.
 
Abundance of Tracks Found.
 
It is widely known that a lot of people find many huge tracks which cannot pertain to any of known animals. Such tracks were also photographed and thoroughly analyzed. Some people argue that a lot of photographs provided by explorers can also present tracks of different known animals (bears or even foxes) deformed by snow melting. Though, there are many transparent tracks, and the vast majority of scientists admit that these tracks can belong to creature like Yeti: large, human-like and bipedal.
 
No Animal Usually Remains Such Tracks.
 
Not only tracks Yeti leaves; people often discover other evidences of its existence. Yeti is unlikely to attack people, it often attacks animals. People often find animals’ remains: bodies torn in two parts, bones neatly put in some places. Too few animals in the Himalayas can be so strong, and there are no doubts that bears or other animals do not usually act so accurately.
 
Too Few Expeditions Were Held.
 
Some people argue that Yeti should have been found long time ago, since a lot of expeditions came to the Himalayas. But not so many were there. Actually, only few (not more than 10) competent expeditions went to the mountains to find Yeti, or at least some evidence of its existence. It is worth mentioning, that one of the members of such expedition, Desmond Doig, admitted that their expedition was too clumsy and slow, with all that equipment. They did not even film, photograph or at least meet any big animal, to say nothing of Yeti.
 
The Himalayas Are Too Hard to Explore.
 

Another explanation why Yeti’s existence is still not 100% proved is that the territory where it lives is too difficult to explore. Some skeptic people say that there must be at least remains of this creature, for it cannot live eternal life. Of course, they are somewhere. But they can be under the snows and ices, they can be under explores’ feet, but still unnoticed. It also concerns Yeti itself. This creature knows those places perfectly, and, of course, it knows where to hide.
 
Possible Ancestors.
 
One of the major points of the whole Yeti case is its origin. How did this creature appear? Yeti is believed to be an ancestor of Gigantopithicus who lived millions of years ago and thrived 100 thousand years ago. Gigantopithicus was about three meters high, and it is an ancestor of a well-known orangutans. But under conditions, existing in the Himalayas, Gigantopithicus could still remain in the way it existed several hundred thousand years ago.
 
Not Seen – Not Existing?
 
Of course, the major point against Yeti’s existence is that only few people saw it, and no photographs, videos or living creature were presented to wide public. And people like to see something, before believing in that. Though, no one saw the Earth being round, at the time when some believer insisted that it was still spinning.
 
So many tracks and proofs are being found, but still people are guessing whether Yeti is a living being or creation of people’s imagination. Some skeptics argue that there are too few evidences, and too much time spent on the search. But, maybe, it is not time to find out the truth. Perhaps, it is Yeti which is exploring people and deciding whether Yeti and people should co-exist in the same world, or Yetis are to live in their own world. Or, maybe, Yetis are only waiting for you to tell their story?
