A yeti is a big creature, covered in hair, that walks on two legs like a person, and that some people believe lives high up in the Himalaya mountains — the snowy mountains of Nepal and Tibet. Nobody has ever caught one or shown a body, so scientists do not accept that it is real. It lives in stories, in things people say they saw far away in the snow, and in film and comics.
