In 1998, an American mountain climber said that he saw a Yeti on the Chinese side of the Himalayas, that walked like a human, but it had thick black fur and was about six feet taller with huge shoulders, very long arms and large hands. In 2007, an American TV team saw Yeti tracks 33 centimetres on length in the snow near Mount Qomolangma.
