The Yeti

Nepal Yeti Picture

The Yeti is an ape-like creature said to inhabit the Himalayan mountains in Tibet and Nepal. People who live in the region use both words "Yeti" and "Meh-Teh" to describe the beast.  All through their history, both names can be found describing it.  Reports of the Yeti began surfacing in the Western world during the 1800s.

Because of a lack of tangible evidence, scientists consider the Yeti a legend.  However, the Yeti remains one of the most famous elusive creatures.  Many people consider the Yeti a relative of the Sasquatch that lives in North America.
