The Yeti
The yeti is a mythical creature who is supposed to live in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. In Tibetan the word means "magical creature". Alternatively: "The Western name is derived from the Tibetan yeh-teh (transliterated: gYa' dred), "little man-like animal"". Some Tibetan locals call a Yeti like creature a Kanchenjunga demon.
In 2003, Japanese mountaineer, Makoto Nebuka, published the results of his 12-year linguistic study and postulated that the word "yeti" is actually a regional dialect term for "bear".
