Paws for thought: Is this Yeti foot?

FURRY LIMB COULD BE YETI'S
Russian scientists say they may have found the remains of an animal that could be behind the yeti legend.

The furry limb, complete with furry padded paw, was found on a Siberian mountainside and is believed to be several thousand years old.

The climber who found it popped it in his bag and took it home for scientists to examine.

After examination the possibility that the limb could have belonged to a beast known as the Abominable Snowman has not been ruled out.

"I turned the limb over and examined the sole of the foot, and I thought it looked unusual," said climber Sergey Sememnov.

"So I decided to bring it back with me," he added.

Furry Limb Could Be Yeti's


The area, in the remote Altay region, is well-known for Yeti sightings.

Locals say the limb does belongs to the Yeti - pointing to the fact it has furry soles and probably walked on snow.

But other local scientists are not so sure.

The foot is about 24cms - the same length of an average human foot.

"It looks very human," said Yuriy Malofeyev, vice-president of the Russian association of veterinary anatomists.

"There are many similarities."
