The Indian army recently posted pictures of footprints that they believe belongs to a “Yeti” on Twitter, since then, the army has been mocked.

In their post on Twitter, the Indian Army said that their mountaineering division has spotted tracks from the “elusive snowman” at the Makalu Base Camp in the Himalayas.

For the first time, an #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team has sited Mysterious Footprints of mythical beast 'Yeti' measuring 32×15 inches close to Makalu Base Camp on 09 April 2019. This elusive snowman has only been sighted at Makalu-Barun National Park in the past. pic.twitter.com/AMD4MYIgV7

Many believed what the Indian Army tweeted and many did not, here are some tweets from the post:

One said, “Congratulations, we are always proud of you. salutes to the #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team. But please, you are Indian, dont call Yeti as beast. Show respect for them. If you say he is a ‘snowman’.”

Another said, “Foot-print suggests that this Yeti is one-legged. Looks like he lost his other leg in Balakote air strike!”

A third user said, “With all due respect to everyone, what we call Yeti is with all probability either the Himalayan Brown Bear or Tibetean Blue Bear. Both are endangered, can grow over 7 feet and are bipedal. The single foot print forms when the bear walks on 4 feet.”

Many even believed that the Indian army did found footprints that belongs to a “Yeti”, here are some tweets:

A user said, “Congratulations, we are always proud of you. salutes to the Mountaineering Expedition Team.

Another said, “I always knew Tintin was right. He was the first to spot the mysterious beast Yeti. Time to re-read Tintin In Tibet.”

A third user said,

The Yeti is a mythical creature that was first mentioned by Sangwa Dorje in Nepal. The Yeti is so known that it could be traced as far back as 326 BC.

When Charles Howard-Bury, a politician and British explorer went on an expedition on Mount Everest, he said that he saw the “Abominable Snowman”, the expedition happened in 1921.

After he saw the “Yeti” or “Abominable Snowman”, Mr. Charles gave it the name of Metoh-Kangmi”, which means to “Man-Bear Snowman”.
