'Yeti hair' to get DNA analysis

Scientists in the UK who have examined hairs claimed to belong to a yeti in India say that an initial series of tests have proved inconclusive.
Ape expert Ian Redmond says the hairs bear a "startling resemblance" to similar hairs collected by Everest conqueror Sir Edmund Hillary.
He told the BBC the Indian hairs are "potentially very exciting".
After extensive microscope examinations, the hairs will now be sent to separate labs for DNA analysis.
They say that the tests on Thursday were a "process of elimination" in which the hairs from India were compared with hairs from other animals known to live in the area around the Garo hills of the north-eastern state of Meghalaya.
The little known Indian version of the legendary yeti - or abominable snow man - is an ape-like creature called mande barung - or forest man.

If you dont know, there has been a good bit of evidence that has consistently come up with nothing on DNA tests....As in, many yeti/bigfoot/sasquatch/swamp man evidence that pulls up complete blanks to geneoligists(sp)

As in, theres DNA, but it dosent match any living creature, yet falls into the primate category. Having lived in a rural area frequented by many starnge calls and noises, im inclined to beleive there could be a big monkey out there we havent found out about yet.

If you dont believe, its w/e....I for one, like to keep an open mind on the subject. I cant wait to go to the zoo and pet the bigfoots!!!!!!!!!!

That would be pretty cool if bigfoot actually existed and we could go to the zoo to see them.

IDK, i think a caged bigfoot would be a very dangerous thing...
