 A US TV presenter says he and his team have found
a series of footprints in the Everest region of Nepal resembling
descriptions of the mysterious Yeti.
The presenter and his colleagues say they are "very
excited", although they are not saying they definitely believe it is
the mark of the Yeti.
Josh Gates and his crew work on a series called Destination Truth, which follows reports of fantastic creatures.
The footprints found on Wednesday have renewed Yeti excitement in Nepal.
Mr Gates said they had been searching by torchlight at
night-time because, he said, alleged sightings of the yeti had usually
taken place at night.
They did not see the so-called abominable snowman himself.
But a Nepalese member of the team spotted three
footprints and alerted Mr 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.
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.
The team took castings of the three prints which will be examined by scientists in the US.
