Maybe somebody did? - gcacho, on 03/01/2009, -2/+50Nah, it's a quijibo: A fat, balding, North American ape with no chin. First used in a Scrabble by Bart Simpson.
- benroy, on 03/01/2009, -1/+43It's just the Chupacabra in a Bigfoot costume.
- Royal0rleans, on 03/01/2009, -2/+37David Atenborough was so much better than Sigourney Weaver in Planet Earth
- Rogor, on 03/01/2009, -2/+37The thing that concerns me with all these alternative concepts, ufos, bigfoot, yeti, magic etc is that at no time in history have more people been getting around back woods and wherever all carrying digital cameras. Theoretically there should be an explosion of really convincing photos/footage going around youtube more than ever but instead all these groups keep trotting out the same old black and white pics from the 50's (1951 in this case), actually i am mostly referring to ufo groups here but same logic goes for others.
- davidg11, on 03/01/2009, -1/+35I'm just going to tease the Yeti with some Beef Jerky and then laugh at him until he gets mad and kicks my ass.
- Jacare, on 03/01/2009, -3/+32Sir David Attenboroughh is ***** awesome.
- ghee, on 03/01/2009, -2/+23AOL News...
- redwolfwalker, on 03/01/2009, -1/+20There is a slide show at the article as well and incidents that have been around and mentioned for many years, the world is still a big place, who can say for sure what is or is not out there.
- sockpuppets, on 03/01/2009, -4/+21Maybe they were filming a new episode of Sherpa Punk'd!
- g0tistt0t, on 03/01/2009, -0/+16Maybe the photographer went up that high to make the hoax and walked and walked and finally decided..."yes this is the perfect place" even thought of that line before he made the decision
- TheMachine1, on 03/01/2009, -3/+19The person that "found" the footprint would we be a prime suspect for a hoaxer.
I do not accept the premise that a joker is less likely to climb 19000 ft for a prank. I think the opposite is the case. A thrill seeking adventurer would be more likely to fake a footprint.
Plus the "foot" print maybe random disruption in the snow. - gramathy, on 03/01/2009, -0/+13I'm going to say it's certainly possible. There's a lot that is
However, I hold reservations without better proof than secondhand accounts and footprints, which can be faked. - regression, on 03/01/2009, -0/+13Nah that was yeeta. She's eastern european.
- inactive, on 03/01/2009, -0/+12Popular theory is that it's a bear infected with mange, rendering it hairless: http://www.bradfordera.com/articles/2007/10/30/new ...
- Gorebus, on 03/01/2009, -0/+12I want to know what this thing is!

EDIT: picture from the same camera earlier in the night showing bear cubs
http://files.blog-city.com/files/A06/59565224/p/f/ ... - jason210, on 03/01/2009, -0/+11nobody stays up all night to make a crop circle oh wait.
- N256, on 03/01/2009, -2/+13Even if we really did get real photos of any of these things, would we believe it?
Also, if magic existed, we would apply our scientific method and nobody would call it magic anymore! - tas08, on 03/01/2009, -0/+11That was just a really terrible, non-informative article.
- norman619, on 03/01/2009, -0/+11You are forgetting what day and age we live in. This is the age of CG and the desktop PC. You can't trust video or photos anymore. It is WAY too easy today for anywone with decent 3D and photoshop chops to throw together a convincing hoax. This goes for video and stills of ANYTHING.
- BevansDesign, on 03/01/2009, -4/+15Unless the yeti or bigfoot is nearly extinct, there would need to be thousands of them to maintain a viable breeding population. And even then, there would be hundreds of thousands of years of remains.
- CDRaff, on 03/01/2009, -2/+12I can remember when people were laughed at for looking for giant squid. I have watched many shows since solid proof has come out, and they all say they believed the whole time, but that is a lie. I learned the word Cryptozoology from a documentary about the giant squid.
I have always thought that there is no way that we can know for sure. I live on an acre of land in New Mexico and have my whole life seen the evidence of snakes living here. Yet I have never seen a snake. should I then assume that they do not live on my land? I have snake skins, seen snake tracks, even a few snake bones, but because I can not hold one up they must not be here.
I am not saying that it is a positive fact that a yeti exists, but there is possibility. - calskii, on 03/01/2009, -4/+14I saw a yeti, at a nightclub, making out with my friend
- mbrolutti, on 03/01/2009, -1/+11No seriously though. If Attenborough says Yeti exists, i'm with him. David Attenborough is god.
- lololol1, on 03/01/2009, -4/+13Manbearpig.
- dittonara, on 03/01/2009, -1/+10Screw Yeti, I'm more interested in that epic snake.
- enantiodromia, on 03/01/2009, -2/+10you guys don't even know who David Attenborough is
- CrazedLeper, on 03/01/2009, -0/+8I hereby declare you king of off-topic links.
- ZeroCubed, on 03/01/2009, -4/+11Looks to me like just another bear cub.
- nezza, on 03/01/2009, -0/+7 God forbid someone may post an interesting and relevant link just because you can't see it. After all; that doesn't stop our American friends from posting Hulu links, does it?
- plingboot, on 03/01/2009, -0/+7Reading far too much into this and clearly missing the context of this interview - which is a jokey entertainment friday night chat show, not serious scientific programme. The interviewer brought up the subject of cryptozoology and winded up the interview by asking attenborough quick yes/no questions about a few fabled beasts. To which he said nessie NO, yetti, maybe.
- inactive, on 03/01/2009, -0/+6O just a spam bot
- sivsta, on 03/01/2009, -1/+7I assumed this was an onion story.
- Tyrghast, on 03/01/2009, -1/+7Of course the Yeti exists, he's drinking all my beer and sleeping on my couch...
- WeylandYutani, on 03/01/2009, -0/+6Pictures, footprints and eyewitness accounts can all be faked and is not sufficient enough to draw a conclusion on. What is needed is a live yeti in a cage to come to a pretty damn solid conclusion.
- xcornbreadx, on 03/01/2009, -1/+7Dugg for classic Simpsons reference
- BaNZ, on 03/01/2009, -0/+6Said in this interview,

At around 19 mins. - borez, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5Said in a Friday night TV interview Jonathan Ross, i.e. not to be taken literally.
- hauntedchippy, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5He sure is. Gives you an idea of the knowledge of the typical AOL news reader that they had to refer to him as "revered expert" and not by name instead.
- DforSpiD, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5James Earl Jones
- schrankage, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5who would win in a voice off? attenbourough or morgan freeman?
- slifty, on 03/01/2009, -1/+6Holy crap that giant snake in the lower picture gallery... That's nightmare material.
- GavinZac, on 03/01/2009, -1/+6While I am sceptical of this sort of thing, you also have to remember that according to our DNA,at some point in our ancestry, the species was 'condensed' to around 7,000 individuals whose descendants now occupy every corner of the earth and dangerously so.
Also, if the yeti or what-have-you is really a homonid, there's no reason it's not at least as intellegent as a chimpanzee, most likely somewhere on the spectrum between chimps and man - or above. They could most likely communicate verbally (note: I didn't say 'talk') and maybe, just maybe, are smart enough to realise that the little baldy apes with guns are nasty and to be avoided.
That being said, I think Sir DA is being misquoted here, slightly: he only spoke about them -not- being a hoax, rather than -definitely- being a yeti. As he has always maintained, we don't know half of the species out there on earth, and so long as we approach their territories with axes, chainsaws, diggers and guns, we may never know them. - isunktheship, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5jokes on you!
- borez, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5Well actually... they do
http://www.noelkingsley.com/blog/archives/extreme_ ... - inactive, on 03/01/2009, -1/+5You need at least two good, well-documented pieces of evidence before Science will give a *****.
- irreverend, on 03/01/2009, -1/+5Offhand, I can think of about ten people I know personally who would absolutely do that.
WTF Attenborough? - sneaker98, on 03/01/2009, -4/+8Now, I get what you're saying. But I have a couple issues with it.
Firstly, the hypocrisy of it. Folks refuse to take the word of eyewitnesses, footprints, dermal ridges, etc. due to the scientific method. Which is perfectly fine. However, there is no science in your statement - it's an observation at best, based on nothing more than "common sense". Remember: "common sense" is not science. If it was, Quantum physics or relativity would have been tossed years ago! It doesn't constitute proof to the non-existence of Bigfoot/Yeti of any sort.
Secondly, from what I've read, vocal calls and loud knocking noises are among the most common forms of Bigfoot encounters. And these are extremely loud, being heard for miles all around. In fact, sound-blasting is a popular way of trying to provoke an encounter.
Would it not be possible that a species can stay in contact with one another through these? I think it's perfectly plausible, and something to consider before dismissing the existence of Bigfoot. - regression, on 03/01/2009, -2/+6Yes, a yeti could exist...and so could aliens and God for that matter. Where is the proof.
