[h1]Japanese team finds 'yeti footprints' in Nepal  [/h1]
 KATHMANDU (AFP) - A team of Japanese adventurers say they have discovered footprints they believe were made by the legendary yeti said to roam the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet.[/p] "The footprints were about 20 centimetres (eight inches) long and looked like a human's," Yoshiteru Takahashi, the leader of the Yeti Project Japan, told AFP in Kathmandu on Monday.[/p] Takahashi was speaking after he returned with his seven-member team from their third attempt to track down the half-man-half-ape, tales of which have gripped the imaginations of Western adventurers and mountaineers for decades.[/p] Despite spending 42 days on Dhaulagiri IV -- a 7,661-metre (25,135-foot) peak where they say they have seen traces of yetis in the past -- the team failed in their prime objective of capturing one on film.[/p] But Takahashi said the footprints were proof enough.[/p]"It was about 200 metres away in silhouette. It was walking on two legs like a human and looked about 150 centimetres tall," said Takahashi.[/p][a href="vny!://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/081020/oddities/nepal_japan_wildlife_yeti_offbeat"]vny!://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/081020/oddities/nepal_japan_wildlife_yeti_offbeat[/a][/p]==============================================================[/p]Since when is an 8inch length foot print 'non human like'. lol[/p]Those are some really tiny feet.
