US scientists have uncovered the myth about Yeti, which would have inhabited the Himalayas.
According to the Guardian, the creature Yeti was, in fact, a bear of one of three different species: Asian Black Bear, Blue-Tibetan Bear, and Himalayan Brown Bear. Each of these species inhabits different altitudes from the mountains, and the people who live in the area could have confused the animals with the Abominable Snowman.
Scientists came to such a conclusion after analyzing artifacts from private collections and museums, including a monastic relic that would have been obtained from the leg of a Yeti. Finally, it was discovered that the artifacts are the remains of 23 different bears.
According to the paper, the recent research was not the first to be carried out, but complements earlier investigations that examined bones, dental arch, skin, and excrements previously considered a Yeti.
