Yeti is the Sherpa-derived term for what is popularly called the "Abominable Snowman" native to the Himalayas Mountains in Asia. The late explorer Sir Edmund Hillary vacillated on and off as to whether the creature existed as he never saw one on Everest or neighboring mountains or plateaus. They are said to be large (300 to 500 pound) furry Neanderthal-like creatures, with either dark or white fur, living in the mountains and rock caves in Nepal.
The name yeti is applied to a large humanoid cryptid, roughly the same as Bigfoot and Sasquatch. The name is used for creatures who live in the high, snowy mountains in the Himalayas. Those who believe that the yeti exists suspect it is a kind of large ape that walks upright, having thick brown or black fur. Some insist it is a vicious killer, while others say it is a gentle giant.

∙ 12y agoWell, Yeti is actually a Bigfoot, because about a dozen cryptids, including (but is not limited to) Yeti, Sasquatch, Almas, and the true Bigfoot.
I think yeti is a bigfoot because there used to be a landbridge from Serbia to the US and the himilayas are not that far so its possible for the yeti to have migrated from the himilayas to the US for warmer weather and when the landbridge broke it left some yeti in the US know today as bigfoot and some yeti back in the himilayas.
