Japanese team finds 'yeti footprints' in Nepal
Mon Oct 20, 8:58 am ET AFP/HO … KATHMANDU (AFP) – A team of Japanese adventurers say they have discovered footprints they believe were made by the legendary yeti said to roam the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet.
"The footprints were about 20 centimetres (eight inches) long and looked like a human's," Yoshiteru Takahashi, the leader of the Yeti Project Japan, told AFP in Kathmandu on Monday.
Takahashi was speaking after he returned with his seven-member team from their third attempt to track down the half-man-half-ape, tales of which have gripped the imaginations of Western adventurers and mountaineers for decades.
Despite spending 42 days on Dhaulagiri IV -- a 7,661-metre (25,135-foot) peak where they say they have seen traces of yetis in the past -- the team failed in their prime objective of capturing one on film.
But Takahashi said the footprints were proof enough.
"Myself and other team members have been coming to the Himalayas for years and we can recognise bear, deer, wolf and snow leopard prints and it was none of those," he said.
"We remain convinced it is real. The footprints and the stories the local tell make us sure that it is not imaginary," he added.
Photographs of the prints have been posted on the expedition's website, www.everest.co.jp/yeti2008/.
The team had set out nine motion-sensitive cameras in an area where Takahashi saw what he thought was a yeti during a previous expedition in 2003.
"It was about 200 metres away in silhouette. It was walking on two legs like a human and looked about 150 centimetres tall," said Takahashi.
Despite their lack of success this time, the team plans to continue the quest.
"We will come back as soon as we can, and we will keep coming back until we get the yeti on film," said Takahashi.

I tried to get the pictures from the exjpedition's website, but it was temporarily unavailable, so I'll try again later.
great new yeti footprints update above article.. thanks bill 
Yes it does seem that their website is a bit underpowered They may be getting alot of hits though, this is a new article.
One thing I have noticed lately is the liveliness of the 'Bigfoot' subject, IE expeditions and people coming out with sighting stories. Anyone else notice a small change? Or has it always been this way?

I hate how they coupled this story up with a story on UFO's (on yahoo's home page). Mainstream media sometimes talks about the two as if they were the same. Mention BF - have to mention UFO's. Almost like writing "take this with a grain of salt".
.......hate it

furious george r u still on line?
Wait-
I thought the Yeti footprint looked like this-

The footprint on the right that looks perfect is human used for comparison and is not much smaller than the on on the left. The one on the left ("yeti"???) looks to be too skinny to be from a yeti (just a guess.....how would I know) especially if there was any melting.
I suppose any type of human looking footprint found high in the Himalayas would be taken as proof but I agree melting is a big factor in snow prints. It baffels me when a show like destination truth finds a "print" of the Yeti yet puts no further effort into the search. Much like Ghost Hunters " We just heard voices, the door opened by itself, and a shadow figure just ducked into a doorway, Time to wrap it up." Granted it is not cheap nor easy to stay in Nepal for extended periods of time hopefully the return trip will produce more and better results.

If that was shorter I'd use it as a signature line. How true is that!
This could be anything and why does it have a hole in it?
Did the Yeti fall through? 
Another article, with more pictures (but still the same footprint)
So where is the rest of the footprints? This could be anything. A trail at 25000 feet might be more convincing.

If it is a footprint, it is very narrow. Their website is slow and difficult to navigate, most of the pics I've found so far on it were of people and appeared to be from the 2003 expedition. Has anyone been able to find more pics of this 'print' (or better yet, more than one in a row) on it?
If there's only one imprint in an area covered in snow the so called "researchers" are really reaching to call that a footprint. If there's one footprint, there has to be more otherwise a one legged Yeti would still be standing in it. It's crap like this that makes Joe Q Public laugh his butt off at the phenomenon. 
If the so called "researchers" had half the common sense Joe Q Public has they wouldn't be offering that pathetic photo as a print.
