The Army’s claims regarding the sighting of the footprints of the mysterious creature have evoked mixed reactions on social media.
Wildlife Institute of India Director V B Mathur said, “Theoretically we don’t believe that such creatures (like Yeti) exist. However, more evidence is needed to conclude which creature’s footprints they might be (in the photographs shared by the Army on Twitter). More evidence is also needed to completely debunk the idea that they could be the footprints of a Yeti.
The Yeti- a giant ape-like creature – is part of South Asian folklore. It is similar to the legends of Big Foot or Sasquatch in North American and the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. Most of the literature on the Yeti comes from folklore.
