  Yeti
The Yeti has reddish hair (although others claim it is gray), smells terrible and it is very strong (it throws boulders as if they were pebbles).
Some say that the Yeti is a descendant of a race of giant apes, the 'gigantophitecus' who retreated into the Himalayas some 500.000 years ago.
Another theory is that the Yetis are descendant of the A-o-re, an ancient people that fled into the mountains to escape their enemies.

 Yeti, the Abominable Snowman
According to locals, the Yeti is but one of several unidentified creatures that inhabit the highlands of southern Asia.
Sherpas, Nepalis and Tibetans alike have described different types of Yeti; a larger variety is described as being a hybrid of man and ape and standing well over two meters tall and having a fur of a dark brown to fl color.
Several sightings, mainly of footprints, have been reported by westerner explorers throughout the years, but contrary to popular belief, these creatures are highly unlikely to dwell in the snowfields where food is scarce, but rather inhabit the jungle and forested areas where there are abundant plants and small animals on which they may feed.

According to most accounts, the yeti is about the size of a man, walks upright, has an apelike face and head, and is covered with heavy reddish-brown hair.
And rather than being perceived as a threat to humans, the yeti is seen as a guardian of the mountains whose continued existence is an indication that the Himalayan ecosystems remain healthy and viable.
However, those who believe the yeti to be a primate point to the fact that it is commonly said to have a cone-shaped head like that of a gorilla.

 Yeti is only a bear: mountaineer
A Japnese mountaineer is attempting to settle once and for all the decades-long debate over the existence of the so-called abominable snowman of the Himalayas, claiming that his years of study have shown that the legendary apelike monster ― also known as a yeti ― is in fact a brown bear.
Makoto Nebuka, 56, a senior member of the Japanese Alpine Club, plans to publish the results of his 12 years of research which led him to conclude the mysterious creature is really the endangered Himalayan brown bear.
Curious Westerners have been searching for the yeti since the 19th century, but the tale of the abominable snowman really captured imaginations worldwide in 1951 after large footprints were found on a glacier high in the Himalayas.

 Bigfoot, Abomindable Snowman of the Himalayas, Mapinguari (the Amazon), Sasquatch, Yowie (Australia) or Yeti (Asia)
The creature goes by many names, but in northern California it is known as “Bigfoot.” (It is also known as the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas, Yeti or Meh-Teh [Asia], Mapinguari [the Amazon, where descriptions match that of a giant sloth thought to be extinct*], Sasquatch, and Yowie [Australia]).
The same has been said about the large number of crop circles, but it appears that hoaxers are not deterred from their activities by the belief that their numbers are small.
The interest in Bigfoot seems to have been succinctly captured in the saying of an old Sherpa: There is a Yeti in the back of everyone’s mind; only the blessed are not haunted by it.

 Funagain Games: The Yeti Slalom
Movement is managed by playing cards to move their racers, but all players also have cards which cause the Yetis, watching from the hills on each side of the race course, to throw snowballs at the racers, trying to knock them out of the race.
Since you either have to move a racer or use a yeti, one tactic seems to be to send down your lower valued racers, hoping to draw the fire of other yeti, so that later racers can choose a safer route.
The Yeti cards are also humorous and I especially liked the names the rules gave each Yeti Ambidextrous Yeti, Crooked Yeti, etc. The card quality was superb, with the cards being about half the size of a typical playing card.

Urban Yeti is a neat game with some amusing minigames surrounded by a technically advanced main adventure...but the overall presentation is a little loose and sloppy.
Urban Yeti's overall game structure is similar to the Grand Theft Auto thing, with players running through a sequence of tasks to advance through the three-location adventure.
Urban Yeti has a decent variety of things to do with good challenge...it's a bit awkward at first, but grows on you once you understand the designers' intentions.

 YETI GAMES
Today most of the scientists at least agree to the possibility of a "dual" Yeti: As myth and legend of the natives, but also as an existing, but unknown animal which has to be researched.
The search for the real Yeti starts in the mountains of the Himalayas, where the legend of the Yeti is familiar to every native.
But, after all, the Yeti is not the only creature of its kind, there are several other, similar legends all around the world.

 WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: WC Retro: What the Yeti Crab Has to Teach Us
But mysterious though they are, in crustacean terms, they're rockstars: news of their discovery has swept the blogosphere, Mark Morford wrote a column about them, heck, people are even sewing stuffed Yeti Crabs.
I think that we're so thrilled about discoveries like this because it sometimes seems like the world is too small, too crowded, too well-mapped, too known to admit the possibility of mystery and adventure.
And, this, to me, is the thought for which the Yeti Crab should become the mascot: we as a culture need to serve an apprenticeship with nature, and we need to do it now.

 YETI: Yet another Tcl Interpreter
Yeti does the same job for Tcl that yacc or bison do for C. You can specify a grammar in a form similar to the Backus-Naur Form (BNF), and define scripts that are executed whenever a rule is matched.
A scanner generator called Ylex is included in the Yeti package; after adding rules, it also dumps code for a scanner class.
The parser generator also requires the struct module from tcllib; this module is not needed to run generated scanners and parsers.

 Yeti Of The Deep - Popular Mechanics
The 15cm Yeti Crab was found last year in waters 7540 ft. deep at a site 900 miles south of Easter Island.
Though it is not rare to discover new deep-sea creatures, rarely are they so unique that a new taxonomic family is created for them.
Scientists are not positive what the creature eats, but there is evidence that the blind Yeti Crab is a carnivore.
