Originally posted by Keeni Meeni Living near to where this thing was caught, I have to say that the 'hunters' wouldn't know the difference between a bear and a squirrel.
It was claimed in one of the articles that:
As per to the very reports by the scientists, who have seen the animal, states that the Oriental Yeti seems much like a bear, but without any of the furs associated and has a long tail alike of a kangaroo. So apparently it was scientists not the 'hunters' who referenced bears and kangaroos. They clearly weren't biologists.
But then considering the bad English it could be a miss translation, or just poor reporting.

Apparently miss translation doesn't know her asss from a hole in the ground🙂
Excuse my ignorance, but aren't Yetis supposed to be large humanoid animals? That thing doesn't look even remotely humanoid. Why would they call it a oriental "yeti"?
It doesn't really look like a civet either -- don't civets normally have longer, narrower heads and slimmer bodies in general?
