Three distinct varieties of yeti are commonly identified by cryptozoologists; they also include the small teh-lma, reported from warmer valleys; [3] and the generally human-like eh-Teh, though they are usually considered one and the same creature given different regional names. [2] [4] That there may be more than one type of yeti is not a fact widely known outside of cryptozoology. As Loren Coleman observes, this both explains and makes problematic the wide range of theories regarding "the yeti's identity" as " different theories may be valid with different yetis". [1] In 1970, British mountaineer Don Whillans claimed to have witnessed a creature when scaling Annapurna. [53] He reported that he once saw it moving on all fours.

The many stories that the author was told had and incredibly high degree of similarity - there were very few variances, and the consistency across many different people and villages and areas leads to the suggestion that they are all witnessing the same thing.

Shuker, Karl P. N. (2016) Still In Search Of Prehistoric Survivors: The Creatures That Time Forgot?, Coachwhip Publications, ISBN 978-1616463908 Western interest in the Yeti peaked dramatically in the 1950s. While attempting to scale Mount Everest in 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a number of large prints in the snow, at about 6,000m (20,000ft) above sea level. These photos have been subject to intense scrutiny and debate. Some argue they are the best evidence of Yeti's existence, while others contend the prints are those of a mundane creature that have been distorted by the melting snow. [36] [1]

The term "abominable snowman" originated in a mistranslation of the name meh-teh in 1921. During an expedition to Everest in that year, Sherpa guides working for Lieutenant Colonel C. K. Howard-Bury identified some large footprints as those of a "metoh-kangmi," as Howard-Bury wrote it. This was composed of two Sherpa words, "meh-teh" ("manlike thing that is not a man" or "man-sized wild creature") and "kang-mi," ("snow creature") and was only a generic term. When journalist Henry Newman wrote up the story for the Calcutta Statesman, he rendered the name "metch kangmi" and stated that it was a Tibetan word meaning "abominable snowman" in reference to the creature's purported strong smell. [1] The Chinese term for the Himalayan wildman is also "snowman" ( xueren). [7] The term is not very widely used within cryptozoology due to its connotations; Loren Coleman refers to it as an " unfortunate appellation". [1] In an ironic refutation of the vicious image created by the name and the creature's depiction in popular culture, Bernard Heuvelmans' unpublished book on the yeti was to be entitled in English The Not So Abominable Snowman. At a 2011 conference in Russia, participating scientists and enthusiasts declared having "95% evidence" of the Yeti's existence. [64] However, this claim was disputed later; American anthropologist and anatomist Jeffrey Meldrum, who was present during the Russian expedition, claimed the "evidence" found was simply an attempt by local officials to drum up publicity. [65] There are a few things to consider, which are spelled out by this book. I have paraphrased, so don't quote me on the exact accuracy below!
