YETIS, MONSTER OR MYTH?
“Yetis are as pure and white as snow...
Yetis have a soft side that they don’t show...
Yeti this Yeti that,
Yetis rule and u know that” - Capt. Terpin Timins
Introduction:
Yetis
are creatures supposedly created from myth and fiction. They are large
tempestuous creatures. Yetis can be classified in the same family as the
Sasquatch and Big Foot. Many people believe that Yetis aren't real and are
illusions of men who have claimed to have seen them. After researching them I
want to say that Yetis are warm and cuddly but do not try to hug a Yeti.
I have chosen to write about Yetis because they are interesting and they
seem to be magical. There is so little belief in magic and wonderment these days
that the Yeti is one of the only characters that people believe in. I have
spoken to many people about their opinions on Yetis and the Yeti way of life.
Atleast half of the people who I have talked to deny the truth behind these
indiginous nomad species.
What is a Yeti?
Contrary to popular belief
Yetis are not carnivorous, they do not attack people unless provoked as many
animals do to protect their territory, their food and their families. The
highest population of Yetis is in the arctic or in cold climates. The Yeti
civilization keeps itself hidden and camouflaged with layers of white fur and
cave like homes. Like humans they nurture and raise their offspring until they
are able to find their own prey and take care of itself. Yetis are omnivores and
eat many different plants as well as meat, the impression that Yetis eat people
has been derived from the fact that in the arctic there aren't many plants that
cater to the Yeti food chain. Yetis have evolved from human like hominids. Yetis
are human like in the characteristics that we share like the opposable thumb, a
large brain, and the ability to stand erect.
Is there proof of Yeti life?
Yes, although it is not common knowledge there is proof of the Yeti, Yeti
fossils have been recovered from many regions that were covered in ice at some
point in time millions of years ago. Although the fossils were not complete and
the Yeti body structures were obviously missing pieces there is no denying the
Yeti presence.
In developed parts of the northern or southern arctic regions
many locals claim to have had Yeti encounters. Yetis have been seen looking for
food, preying on smalls animals. Locals claim that Yetis have even attempted to
pillage cities for example in 1963 in the town of Mystery in Alaska a herd of
over a dozen Yetis charged into the confines of a junk yard and took many used
parts of scrap metal and also wheels. In that Yeti encounter no humans were hurt
and onlookers only watched in terror, but 3 hunting dogs were taken.
A
highly esteemed archaeologist Dr Bob Dhotcolm who was excavating an abandoned
coal mine came into a 5 foot radious of a Yeti who seemed to be ill. Dr Bob who
was afraid and felt threatened shot the Yeti in the legs using several rounds of
amunition and went for help. By the time he and local law officials returned the
Yeti was gone. Dr Bob later exclaimed “ Aw ****in Yeti ****in tried to ***in eat
me, that ****in yeti ****in mother ****in Yeti”
Will the Yeti Population
grow or diminish in the future?
The Yeti population growth rate has been
declining since the late 18 hundreds. Eskimo tribes have hunted Yetis for food
and clothing for years and so have foreigners and game hunters. Due to this
Yetis may soon be extinct. But by the American people letting the world lose
Yetis we are losing a valuable key in the study of human evolution.
The
following is an actual photograph and statement taken from Capt. Terpin Timins
on his Yeti Attack adventure.
“ I was walking to the grocery store one day,
in the north pole and suddenly I felt something hit me on the back of the head.
I turned around as fast as I could and I saw a Yeti. The Yeti threw a rock at me
and I became scared and ran from the Yeti, but the Yeti who was faster caught me
and pounced on me, for the next half an hour we wrestled in the snow clawing at
each other. I screamed for help and screamed obscenities and he grunted and went
Erp. I was able to take a picture of him after I took him down and he ran for
cover.”
