	Nandi Bear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The so-called Nandi Bear is a scientifically unrecognized animal said to live in Africa.
		The creature takes its name from the Nandi people who live in western Kenya, near where the Nandi Bear is supposed to live.
		Descriptions of the Nandi Bear are of a ferocious, powerfully built carnivore with high front shoulders (over four feet tall) and a sloping back; somewhat similar to a hyena.

	Nandi people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Nandi is a Kenyan ethnic group or tribe living in the highland areas of the Nandi Hills in Rift Valley Province; they form a sub-group of the Kalenjin.
		Before British colonization, they were sedentary cattle-herders, sometimes also practicing agriculture; their settlements were more or less evenly distributed rather than being grouped into villages.
		Like other Nilotic peoples, they were noted warriors.

	The Oakland Press: Local News: Test doesn't deserve reputation, could be lifesaver, doctor says
		Nandi, who is one of eight board-certified physicians at the center, said people with "average risk" probably don't have to start getting colonoscopies until they are older than 50 and, unless cancer is found, they need one only every 10 years.
		People in higher-risk categories include those who have had a polyp or growth found in the colon, have had the cancer or have a family history of colon cancer.
		Nandi said that the sigmoid is similar to a colonoscopy, but the penetration isn't as deep.

	The epidemiology, politics and control of malaria epidemics in Kenya: 1900-1998
		The Nandi plateau was regarded as a prime area for early European settlers because it contrasted the malarious swamps of nearby Uganda and Nyanza.
		In 1901 Nandi was part of Uganda and was used as an area for convalescence for Colonial officials at a purpose-built sanatorium, because, in the words of Sir Harry Johnston, "malaria does not exist in Nandi" (Matson, 1957).
		At Nandi Hills Hospital it would appear that the sharp seasonal peak in malaria is regular annual event and that whilst children represented a larger proportion of admissions in the early 1990's the proportion is more evenly split during more recent years.

		The elders, and people of his kingdom had only good things to say about her, and this made the king even more convinced that she had to be his wife.

		According to the original story Nandi was falsely accused of committing"abominable acts" that led to her exile but I could not find any information about what kinds of "abominable acts" she was accused of committing.

	The Cryptid Zoo: Nandi Bear
		If the Nandi tribe were the only ones to report this creature, it might be easily dismissed as a creature of folklore, but this is far from the truth.
		European settlers and explorers have also reported seeing the Nandi bear, often from so close that their descriptions could not be due to a mistaken observation of an ordinary animal; they could only be the truth or outright lies or hallucinations.
		People with European ancestry are very likely to label the Nandi bear as a bear, especially when they see it close up.
