Yeti or Not, Here We Come!

Lausanne Museum and Oxford University's team of researchers studied plans to study hair samples from different institutes around world claimed to be hairs from the mysterious legend, the Yeti, also known as Sasquatch or Bigfoot. In 1976 a photo of a abnormally footprint was taken in the Himalaya's. The footprint was claimed to be Yeti's. Yeti is known as a cryptid, or an animal whose existence has never been proven. The Loch-Ness monster is another well known cryptid. Although there are multiple "sightings" of these creatures, nobody knows if they're real yet. The study of these creatures is called cryptozoology. A co-leader of this project is Bryan Sykes who says that "DNA will tell the truth". I don't believe in these strange creatures that people tend to see from time to time. I think that most cryptids aren't real but just parts of somebody's imagination that go widespread. Although I don't believe in them I think they are very cool. I am currently reading a series called Cryptid Hunters. Hence the title, it is about two kids, their uncle and how they hunt for cryptids. I think the reason why people make these strange legends about mysterious creatures is for entertainment. Although I doubt these animals' existences they may be real and they may no longer become a cryptid, bud a real animal one day.
