New Yeti prints?
A TV crew from the show Destination Truth claims that they've found what could be Yeti footprints in Nepal's Everest region. They've taken castings of the three prints and plan to have scientists examine them. From the BBC News:
UPDATE: In the discussion, Noen kindly points out that Loren Coleman's Cryptomundo post includes a photo of the track cast. Link
UPDATE: Loren Coleman has posted about why he's almost certain that the photograph referenced in the update above is most likely a stock photo and not from any Nepalese Yeti at all. Link
UPDATE: Or perhaps it actually is a photo of the new cast. Link
A Nepalese member of the team spotted three footprints and alerted (Destination Truth's Josh) Gates, who told the BBC the first print was a "pristine" right paw mark, 33 cm (13 inches) long, with five toes in a wide spread of 25 cm.Link (Thanks, Chris Courtney!)
There was also a heel print and another fainter one.
An excited Mr Gates described the main footprint as anthropomorphic, meaning it had human characteristics.
He said he did not believe the prints were man-made or that they came from a known animal such as a bear.
But he also said he was not sure he believed in the Yeti, and did not know what to make of it.

cryptomundo has an article on it too.
They show a pic and to be honest it doesn't look like a primate's foot print to me.
@Noen (#1), Thanks for that link. I updated the main post.
Come on people... really? A film crew goes out looking for a Yeti. Spend a week in the freakin Himalayas. They then find something that looks like a footprint in the sand near a river.
I'm betting if all of us went ot in our backyards and looked hard enough we could find evidence of pixies or maybe even a yeti.
This is worse than the Haunted House hunters tv show where they "find" all sorts of proof..
You mean Ghost Hunters? LOL, that was a stupid show. The only interesting thing about it was the psychodrama between some of the characters. And no, this doesn't look like a footprint of an animal at all to me.
before they start telling everyone why don't they do a dna test first. oh right, yeh, it's because they just want free advertising for their tv show.
