Yeti “There can be no prestige without mystery, for familiarity breeds contempt” (Charles de Gaulle). Cryptids denote animals or creatures whose existence has yet to be scientifically proven. The yeti or as the Sherpa people (mountain people from Nepal) say “meh-teh” meaning man bear remains one greatest cryptids. Yeti’s height ranges between five to seven feet tall, having large feet with a pronounced big toe, and long white or brown hair covering its whole body. The weight of the yeti is estimated to be from 200 pounds to 400 pounds depending on the height. In addition, the yeti walks upright with large feet and dwells in the Himalayan Mountains and in the eastern Siberian region. The first account of yeti dates back to the fourth century …show more content…
In late August of 2012 a fisherman known as Vitaly Vershinin sighted Yeti in the Kemerovo region near Myski Village. In the boat the fisherman first thinking they were bears and then people he tried to get their attention. Later, the yetis “rushed away, all in fur, walking on two legs, making their way through the bushes and with two other limbs, straight up the hill” (“Just the Facts”). The fact that this fisherman sighted Yeti without looking for Yeti simply makes it more believable. Furthermore, a creature that walks on two legs and is covered in fur just resembles the concept of “yeti.” Although many people may discredit this sighting and others similar to it simply due to the lack of evidence, situations like this are the main reasons sightings occur. If a Yeti researcher goes out into the forest looking for Yeti they most likely will not see a Yeti due to the noise they make and the scent they output through the wind. When just fishing on a boat the Yeti may not notice anything menacing and just carry on. Yetis are not stupid and this is why it remains so challenging to scientifically prove yeti’s existence, however the eyewitness accounts present an undeniable existence of
What is scaly, creepy, 50 feet long, and swims in the world's most notorious lake? If you said The Loch Ness Monster, then you’re correct! The Loch Ness Monster, mostly known as the creature Nessie, is a huge, “mythical” creature that has been scaring the people of Ireland for centuries, but this monster is actually real.
There was a period of time, before the appearance of Europeans on the continent, that the Nephilim did not have this “rule” or “compulsion” to keep their existence hidden from humans. The Bigfoot were known to the Native Americans by many names. Legends and lore sprang up from the Native American’s interaction with the Bigfoot. The Native Americans always considered them to be a “society” or “tribe.” The relationship the Bigfoot tribes had with the Native Americans was precarious at best. Many Native American tribes described the Bigfoot as cannibals, mountain devils, kidnappers, rapist, and thieves.
Firstly, with Hickory Hollow is the disappearing crayfish in Ribbon Cave. This problem, it seems, is the result of heavy metals found in the water. The heavy metals were found at the site of Ribbon Cave, as well as the northern portion of Aram Creek. We tested for heavy metals at well sites G, I, L, M, and S for heavy metals, with the only positives being well sites I and L. Nevertheless, this still confirmed our theory. The heavy metals found in the water have most likely resulted from Compara Corp’s hazardous waste spills, a problem that has occurred multiple times. The heavy metals found in the water being lead, tin, copper, and ammonia would then be highly probable. To fix this problem the answer is simple, “The answer, according to the agency and an outside expert, is twofold: treatment and dilution” (Pappas, 1). Treating the water is simple: the water needs the acidity to be reduced. After that is done, you must dilute the water (add water to the creek). However, the problems will never fully go away, but they will be greatly decreased. In conclusion, in order to save the lives of the crayfish, Hickory Hollow must treat Aram Creek in order to strip the heavy metals.
Almost 4% of Hawaiian Monk Seals are dying off each year. These seals need food to survive, just like any other species. Humans are fishing so much in Hawaii that these wonderful creatures have nothing to eat. Most of their diet consists of ocean animals which humans take away by fishing. Fishing is having a negative effect on The Hawaiian Monk Seal, because fishing is not being practiced responsibly, so we should reduce the amount of fish being taken out of the water.
Have you ever wondered what and where the Yeti’s habitat is? Well, I certainly have! The Yeti is an interesting creature that's biome is in the great Himalayan mountains of Asia.Research states that when the Yeti is on the mountain he ends up finding a place to stay, which is on the side of a mountain. The Yeti picks it’s cave on the side of the mountain because when it snows, snow flurries fly in and eventually, a pile of snow ends up in the corner used as a bed. This is why the Yeti’s result when tested has similar DNA to apes. (Fun Fact!). Do you know what the Yeti eats? According to Google the Yeti eats yaks, mountain sheep/goats,and bamboo, as his last resort if he can find any. Research has stated that the Yeti was actually first sighted
They are invasive because; they compete with native bottom dwelling fish for food. They threaten the several species in the Great Lakes Basin. The Round Goby have reduced the population of sport fish by eating their eggs and and young ones. Also by competing for food.Researchers believe that the Round Goby is also connected to the botulism type E outbreaks in the Great Lake's fish and fish
Everyone has heard of aliens, and UFO sightings across America, the craziness of gettingabducted by aliens or circles found in corn fields caused by UFOs. According the urban legendin Area 51 the government is harboring aliens and doing all sorts of tests on them and everyonehas heard of E.T. the movie.

I was sitting in a basement that smelled bad and was stuffy, I needed to get out of there. I was with my friend who liked to ride bikes. So, we decided to ride bikes. Outside we only had 1 normal bike, the other was an old bike with a banana seat on it. I lost a coin toss so I had to ride the trashy bike that had trouble even going straight. There was a trail down at the park where we would ride the bikes. We thought we would go there first and then go climb on playground after. At the very beginning of the trail there’s this difficult hill that goes pretty fast and shoots you right at a left turn. If you didn’t slow down and turn fast enough you would crash.
We have all heard of this creature the “big foot” but what is this animal and does it even exist? Its other name is the Sasquatch which is derived from the Halkomelem Language and literally means wild man. The Coast Salish Indians of the Fraser Valley use this language and have been the first people historically to name the big foot. It is said that Native American Tribes all over North America have a total of sixty different terms for the big foot. It is hard to say if these sighting by Native Americans were actually credible because there tribes are so diverse it was hard to communicate with them at that time.
Bigfoot For over 150 years man has been troubled by one great mystery, a mystery that has baffled all who have witnessed it and all who have tried to solve it. This mystery is commonly known as Bigfoot, a tall, hairy man/ape who lurks in the woods in almost every country on this planet. Some say it is just an ape, some believe it is a man in costume, and others are true believers in this hairy phenomenon. For more than a decade and a half, this creature of myth has caused enormous contradictions in the field of science, bringing about one question. Does Bigfoot exist in the world?
One of my most memorable days in my life was when I came to Flatwoods. I awaken from slumber it was about 7:50. I usually wake up at 7:00 but the previous day I received a letter in the mail saying I have been approved at job corps of VA aka Flatwoods. I have to be ready to leave at 10:30 so I can catch the bus. I have arrived at the Greyhound and it was quite a while so I had some free time. Going to the store I saw a Subway. I ate there for 40 minutes it was now 10:28 and on my way walking back and people was just loading up on the bus. The man driving the bus checked my bus ticket and I put my bags on the bus.
Is Bigfoot really a mythical creature roaming the world? Nobody can answer that question, not if our scientist today. Bigfoot is a large, hairy, apelike creature resembling a yeti, there are found in Northwestern America. There is another name that Bigfoot is called and it’s Sasquatch. Some people believe in Bigfoot and try to find it. Others who think it’s a ridiculous idea to be searching for something that no one can find. There are others who are in the middle and others who just don’t care. There are evidence from films, eyewitnesses, photographs, hair sample, and footprints.
legends about those wild half-human beasts who haunt the edges of our forests and lurk in the
To explain the unexplained the Kiowas had myths, and Momaday tells these myths of their journeys in a historical voice. One of their myths explained how they came into this world and why their numbers are so small: “the Kiowas came one by one into the world through a hollow log. They were many more than now, but not all of them got out. There was a woman whose body was swollen up with child, and she got stuck in the log. After that, no one could get through, and that is why the Kiowas are a small tribe in number”(16). The few of them that managed to come out of the log saw so many things that it made them glad to which they decided to call themselves Kwuda, and later Tepda, both of which mean “coming out”(17). The Kiowa saw an amazing new world as they came out of the hollow log; Another of the unexplained that they explain through the myths is the story of how the big dipper came to be, “Eight children were there at play, seven sisters and their brother. Suddenly the boy was struck dumb; he trembled and began to run upon his hands and feet. His fingers became claws, and his body was covered with fur. Directly there was a bear where the boy had been . . .The seven sisters were borne into the sky, and they became the stars of the Big Dipper”(8). This story shows how they explain the unknown of nature through stories. With this story Momaday uses a great deal of
A polar bear is a one of the eight species. “Scientists believe that the polar bear began over 200,000 years ago. They came from the brown bears ancestors.” Most experts think that polar bears are the longest bears. Males measure over 10 feet long, when standing on their hind legs, other bear not so much. Brown bears and polar bear are the largest and are both land carnivores. Polar bears are one of the worlds largest world predictors.
