Quote:'Yeti footprints': Indian army mocked over claim.SOURCE:
'The Indian army has claimed to have found footprints of the yeti, sparking jokes and disbelief on social media.
The army tweeted to its nearly six million followers on Monday that it had discovered "mysterious footprints of
mythical beast 'Yeti' at the Makalu Base Camp [in the Himalayas]".
The yeti - a giant ape-like creature - often figures in South Asian folklore.
There is no evidence proving yeti exist but the myth retains a strong appeal in the region.
And the army has now added to the legend by sharing pictures of "footprints" in the snow on an official Twitter account.
There have been numerous attempts in recent years to solve the mystery of the yeti.
In 2011, DNA tests on a "yeti finger" taken from Nepal to London half a century ago found it to be human bone.
And in 2013, DNA tests on hair samples carried out by Oxford University genetics professor Bryan Sykes found that they
matched those from an ancient polar bear. He said the most likely explanation for the myth is that the animal is a hybrid
of polar bears and brown bears...'
