Pictured: 'Yeti' footprints found by adventurers in Nepal

A team of adventurers claim they have discovered footprints made by the legendary yeti said to roam the highest part of the Himalayas.

The large hairy creature resembling a human or bear is said to live in the regions of Nepal and Tibet. While the scientific community largely regards the creature as folklore, given the lack of evidence, reports of the yeti go back hundreds of years.

Yoshiteru Takahashi, the leader of the Yeti Project Nepal, made the discovery leading his Japanese team's third attempt at tracking down the half-man-half-ape.
