Squatchman: there is more than one creature named “Yeti” (as per Ivan Sanderson’s ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN); it’s a popular catch-all that encompasses the Meh-Teh, Yeh-Teh, and Dzu-Teh (sometimes a fourth, Kang Admi (sometimes Kangmi). Westerners, not recognizing more than one creature, use the term “Yeti”. Other names exist, in less common form.

And since Bigfoot exists in varied terrain, from alpine to (seemingly) swamplands, we may expect Asian counterparts would do the same. And you undoubtedly know that swamps exist in great profusion in Siberia. Boy, do they ever.

Some parts of Sanderson’s book seem outdated now, 40-plus years later, but on the whole, it holds up very, very well!

I think there is a chance that the Yeti lives in Siberia because of its terrain.

The Russians really love their Yetis, Almastys, whatever. And hey… SO DO I!!

If this region is actually a hotspot for these creatures, why not send in a low-impact investigation that consists of ONE field researcher equipped with a head-mounted camera that streams video and audio back to a central location where the feed is constantly recorded and monitored. Everything the researcher sees and hears is preserved. I’m betting that one guy roughing it alone in the wild would have better luck at an encounter than a team of idiots bellowing at the top of their lungs and whacking trees with sticks. One can certainly dream!

Well Siberia is remote enough with a great deal of forest. If these animals do exist Siberia is a good place for them.
