Making big news in China this week is a story about Himalaya’s legendary Yeti or Bigfoot.

For centuries rumours of a half-man, half-ape that roams the upper Himalayas have circulated. The creature said to stand 3 metres tall has been allegedly seen by many locals as well as hikers visiting the area. In Chinese Yeti is often referred to as ‘Xueguai’.

A number of locals living near the Nepalese border claim not only to have seen the creature, but to have collected strands of its hair. Now, it has been reported that a team of scientists have collected these strands and have already confirmed that they do not belong to any local known animals.

The scientists plan to do further testing on the hair strands.

One theory regarding the Yeti is that the sightings of the supposed cryptid are in fact that of a rare bear that lives in the area but is unknown to scientists. The scientists hope to settle this mystery with the DNA tests.

Thunderbird sightings have been around for years. They are one of the known creatures in cryptozoological circles. But could some of these sightings in the Ontario area be linked to a “stuffed  Thunderbird” ?

“Cryptozoologist Karl Shuker looks back at a case from 1998 in which he received information from a University Professor on a possible stuffed thunderbird being kept in the town of Spanish, Ontario.”

“Karl Shuker: In 1998, I received the following fascinating information of possible relevance to North America’s ongoing thunderbird or ‘big bird’ mystery. And this time it involves something much more substantial than a missing thunderbird photo – nothing less, in fact, than what may be a missing stuffed thunderbird!”

I am not sure a “stuffed bird” even if located has any impact on any of the Thunderbird sightings in the area , but it is interesting. The stuffed bird was said to be yet unidentified but was extremely large so it could be possible that it was used in some elaborate hoaxes over the years, but its still unknown to if it actually even exist and isnt simply a local rumor perhaphs like the thunderbird itself. Maybe some more information will surface and help to explain and clear things up some.
