Yeti Footprints

Interesting, although I'm having trouble with the measurement.
32x15 inches seems too big, now if it was 32x15 centimeters, it makes more sense.

Hmm, dunno, 32cm by 15cm is about the size of a Snowboot. (size 10) That doesn't sound that big to me. Wouldn't be anything to get excited about.

My thoughts,

Giant of Kandahar?
There are so many myths surrounding stories of red-haired giants it is a bit hard to not think something of the sort existed at one time or another.

Not sure about this one......On the long photo, the "Footprints" are in a line......do Homos walk with one foot ahead of the other in a straight line through snow?

Looks more to me like a smallish animal, dog or some other local creature, that has leaped from one spot to another in a running motion through the snow........this has been shown many times on tv, with foxes and wolves etc jumping across snow.

Here are some more older pictures from the same area.
This prints are somewhat smaller though (12.5 in).

The tracks of animals are always offset by just a bit.

32 Inches = 81.128 centimetres that is impossible, something wrong with their measurement

Those don't appear to be the crispest of prints. Looks to me as though the snow has melted somewhat which can enlarge a print considerably. Would be interesting to get some recent temp stats from the area.

When the snow melts the prints would expand. They probably are surprised to find biped tracks out in the middle of nowhere.

That would be real exciting. Being old tracks would be a bit comforting.

Meh. Those are some pretty indistinct prints, at least the way they appear in the photos. No way to assume anything accurately. Just blobs.

I wish it would have shown if there was more than 2 tracks. Still pretty impressive to have a set wandering around .



Hey more pictures to help define what they saw.

Hey Bally, I hear ya..I'm just thinking there isn't any current land animal on the planet that leaves a 32" print, I can't imagine a giant living up there, due to the amount of food required to support a large animal.
Other posters have noted snow melt will make a track look bigger, and that's worth noting.
You are right a size 10 snowboot is nothing to get excited about, but what about a 13" bare foot print.

I'm wondering if they meant 15" tracks 32" apart. Anyway the pictures tell quite a story unless it's just a photo angle setup.

I think you are correct, because each track looks to be twice apart as it is long.

Funny how that one joker thought snowshoes could be a "simple" explanation - like you could walk with snowshoes one right in front of the other with that much gap. Maybe he was doing too much white powder.

I am more concerned about the strides than the track size. Tracks sometimes melt and refreeze and are larger than fresh tracks. The size of the stride would give us a base point to establish how long the legs are and therefore how tall the creature.

A 3 foot stride on level ground, equates to about a 6’ tall man. If the tracks are 5 feet apart, you are looking for a 10’ tall guy.

Yes, too bad there is no one in the photos for scale.

I think red haired giants = Vikings.
Probably made contact and stories abounded.

do Homos walk with one foot ahead of the other in a straight line through snow?

They are known to Mince on occasion. Sometimes a Sashay, but never just one boring foot in front of the other. No Sir.
