Explorers may have proven that a Yeti-like creature is living in Sumatra, because hairs and a footprint found there do not belong to any known species. They’re searching for the Orang Pendek, also known as the Sumatran Yeti. According to legend, it’s about 5 feet tall, walks upright, and is either brown or orange in color.

Hair expert Hans Brunner spent 18 months analyzing the hair’s DNA and concluded that it matches no known animal. Adam Davies, one of the expedition members, says, “Hans Brunner?confirmed it’s an unknown primate. People describe the Orang Pendek as being quite small but very strong and stocky?and eye-witnesses all talk of a primate which walks upright. It’s a very exciting discovery.”

The monster had the face of a man with monkey-like features. It was four feet tall, but extremely sturdy. It was the Snowman. It pounced at me and I jumped back on the veranda, shouting for help. My uncle and his family rushed to my rescue and the monster lazily walked away. It was hardly frightened by the commotion.”
