abominable snowman
Legendary mountain ape
The abominable snowman is a legendary ape-like creature said to inhabit the Himalayan mountains, also called the yeti.
Reports describe a large, hairy, bipedal beast leaving massive footprints in the snow.
The creature occupies the same cryptozoological space as Bigfoot and the sasquatch—widely discussed, never confirmed: expeditions searching for the abominable snowman.
