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. 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."

LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 If you like this stuff, go rent "The Legend of Bogey Creek". It is a documentary made in the 70s that is kinda funny bad at points. I think Wal-Mart recently marked it down from their $10 price to be in their $5 bin on DVD... classic stuff...
kkktookmybabyaway Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 The furry limb, complete with furry padded paw, was found on a Siberian mountainside and is believed to be several thousand years old. This did take place in Russia -- it was probably a Russian woman that got lost on the way back to her village...
Use Your Illusion Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 First Nessie, and now the Yeti? This hasn't been a good year for monsters... They found something related to the Loch Ness Monster? I thought that whole thing was a huge hoax that has only been milked for commerical and tourisim purposes. What did they find?
dubq Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 First Nessie, and now the Yeti? This hasn't been a good year for monsters... They found something related to the Loch Ness Monster? I thought that whole thing was a huge hoax that has only been milked for commerical and tourisim purposes. What did they find? I think, I could be remembering this wrong, that it was the remains of a brachiosaur. The remains were still thousands and thousands of years old, though, so that still doesn't explain the "pictures" of Nessie that have circulated over the years.
Stephen Joseph Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Yup, that's correct. I thought it added fuel to the speculation that LNM could be a relative of the brachiasaur though
dutchse.cx Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Methinks Kahran is right. Anyway, anyone else seen this news bit on any other sites yet? Or is this a joke site and I'm missing the joke?
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Legitamate Media won't cover this, its below them
Dr. Tom Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Because both Yetis and Nessie are nothing but popular myths.
dutchse.cx Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Tom, if THIS exists, I'm willing to believe anything.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 As for the "Yeti" foot, I'm intrigued. The paw has got a slightly different bone structure to a human foot, but I couldn't say what it was from. At a guess, I'd say it turns out to be a deformed human foot, or a hoax.

Guest Ghettoman Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Yeah I also wouldn't mind an explination to what's up with the mutant fish.

Guest TheGame2705 Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Nematoad>LNM and Big Foot Loocoocoo!
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Game, there wil be no Doug references in the CE folder, Dr. Klotzenstein, or else I'll get QuailMan to use his Powers of the Quail™ on you. I'm a firm believer that the Loch Ness Monster is real. Of course, I'm not saying it's a plesiosaur, but I'm saying there is probably a creature that resembles a plesiosaur in Loch Ness.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Siberia find revives yeti legends Siberian scientists say they have a discovery on their hands which raises the possibility that the local legend of the yeti - the abominable snowman - is more than mere fiction. According to Russian TV, the well-preserved furry limb of a mystery creature was found some 3,500 metres up in the permafrost of the Altay mountains, in Russia's remote Siberia region. "I turned the limb over and examined the sole of the foot, and I thought it looked unsual," Sergey Semenov, the mountain-climber who made the find, said. "So I decided to bring it back with me." Scientific tests and X-rays show that the bones are several thousand years old, but attempts to identify the creature they belonged to remain inconclusive. It looks very human, there are many similarities Yuriy Malofeyev, the Russian association of veterinary anatomists Local opinion on the find, described as "surprisingly well-preserved", is divided. There is a long tradition of alleged sightings in the area of what might - or might not - be the abominable snowman. Size 36 Local people say the creature must have walked on snow, because the sole of the foot is furry. They have already labelled the discovery as the foot of the yeti. But veterinary scientists and academics at the local animal research institute and agragrian university tend towards a more rational explanation. "It looks very human," Yuriy Malofeyev, vice-president of the Russian association of veterinary anatomists, told the TV after examining the X-rays. "There are many similarities," he said. That view appears to be supported by the fact that the length of the foot is about 24 centimetre - normal for a human being. "A size 36 shoe would fit him just fine," the TV concluded.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 The greatest crytozoological discovery of our lifetime, and the thread gets no love.... Humpth!@
Red Baron Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 that fish made me vomit... and if thats the yetti, what about Bigfoot in North America then?
Guest BDC Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 No one answered the question on what the fish is.
Vyce Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 It's disturbing, that's what it is. Look at the eyes.
Big McLargeHuge Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 Whoa! Wait a minute... Robert Stack is dead?!?
dutchse.cx Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 To know the fish is to know one's self. I do not know your self, therefore I cannot explain the fish to you. You must discover the answers on your own. As for the Yeti foot, I think everyone's a wee bit ... SKEPTICAL right now to believe it right off.
