Indian Army's post on Twitter showing 'Yeti footprint' sparks storm of jokes and controversy on social media
"With all due respect, institutions such as yours should be more responsible and careful before going ahead and declaring the sighting of any footprints as 'Yeti's'!" said Kushal Prajapati.With all due respect, institutions such as yours should be more responsible and careful before going ahead and declaring the sighting of any footprints as 'Yeti's'! There's been lots of research done on Bigfoot/Yeti with none proving its existence.
Several Twitter observers asked why there was only one footprint when the beast would probably have had two feet. Foot-print suggests that this Yeti is one-legged. Looks like he lost his other leg in Balakote air strike!"Congratulations, we are always proud of you. salutes to the #IndianArmy Mountaineering Expedition Team," wrote Tarun Vijay, a leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.Moutaineering Expedition Team. But please, you are Indian, dont call Yeti as beast. Show respect for them. If you say he is a 'snowman'.
The army said the footprints measured 81 centimetres by 38 and were spotted by a team on April 9 close to the Makalu Base Camp, an isolated area on the Nepal-China frontier."We will share whatever we get with the domain experts to analyse. We will be contacting the team on the satphone in the evening for more details about it. The idea is to find out more, to look for an answer," the official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Yeti is traditionally described as an ape-like creature, taller than a human, that lives in the Himalayas, Siberia, and parts of Central and East Asia.Forensic results of previous samples have proved to be from prehistoric bears.
