Himalayan Bigfoot to undergo DNA testing

vr_don · 08-31-2009, 10:02 AM

Making big news in China this week is a story about Himalaya's legendary Yeti or Bigfoot.

For centuries rumors of a half-man, half-ape that roams the upper Himalayas have circulated. The creature said to stand 3 meters tall has been allegedly seen by many locals as well as hikers visiting the area. In Chinese Yeti is often referred to as 'Xueguai'.

A number of locals living near the Nepalese border claim not only to have seen the creature, but to have collected strands of its hair. Now, it has been reported that a team of scientists have collected these strands and have already confirmed that they do not belong to any local known animals.

The scientists plan to do further testing on the hair strands.

One theory regarding the Yeti is that the sightings of the supposed cryptid are in fact that of a rare bear that lives in the area but is unknown to scientists. The scientists hope to settle this mystery with the DNA tests

It turned out the wild men attacks in India were humans, as the DNA tests revealed. It would be great if they did discover a new species, but it could also be human or a known species. I guess we will wait and see.

It could be possible that a Bigfoot creature did once exist in this area, but the Chinese ate the creature into extinction. I'm sure that Bigfoot penis soup was once on the menu.
