Yeti Footprint Cast added to the Yeti Museum

"This is a casting of a mysterious footprint discovered in December of 2007 by explorer Joshua Gates and his team in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. This is the best preserved of three prints, which were found in sequence near a river in the Khumbu Valley, at an altitude of about 10,000 ft.

U.S. Experts have scanned each of the prints and have concluded that they are anatomically legitimate and represent a significant find. This scan shows the heel from one partial footprint (In blue) superimposed on the larger print (In grey). The two match almost exactly which indicates that they are real footprints left by an unknown bipedal animal in the wild.

Joshua Gates is an American explorer and photographer and donated this footprint to The Yeti Museum in April of 2008. One of only three castings, this footprint represents the first 21st Century evidence of the Yeti."
