Yoshiteru Takahashi, the expedition leader of the Yeti Nepal project, was overjoyed when he and the other 7 members of the group discovered the legendary snowman's footprint. Mr. Takahashi said: 'Footprints are more than 20cm long and shaped like human footprints'.

This finding is the result of a 42-day effort by the team at the top of Dhaulagiri, which is over 7,660m high in the Himalayas. Takahashi added: 'I and my colleagues have been studying this mountain for years. We discovered a lot of footprints of different animals like bears, deer, wolves and snow leopard, but absolutely no footprints like this. We affirm that these are traces of an authentic Snowman, not a product of imagination '.

Yeti, commonly known as Snowman, is an ape-like creature that lives on the Himalayan peaks. Names like Yeti or Meh-The are widely used by locals as a long-term historical legend. Due to the lack of convincing evidence of Yeti's true viability, scientists see Yeti as a legend and one of the most mysterious topics.
