Again, the article states:
quote:Research by a British scientist has concluded that the legendary Himalayan yeti may in fact be a sub-species of brown bear.
He says the most likely explanation for the myth is that the animal is a hybrid of polar bears and brown bears.
Prof Sykes told the BBC that there may be a real biological animal behind the yeti myth.
I'd say that is a yes, wouldn't you?
Well, wouldn't that mean a redefinition of the commonly-held description of Yeti? If it's just a bear, well - nothing to see here.
Zoologists specializing in large mammals would be very interested, true. But the numerous cottage industries built around the myth of the Yeti would be out of business. THERE IS MONEY INVOLVED HERE.
