"Yeti bear: Yetis are real – but not magical, says British geneticist"

Two pelts believed to be from Yetis in the Himalayas were sent to Oxford University. At Oxford, geneticists found the DNA sequences of the pelts and they were a 100% match.... to a bear. It was not a regular bear though. It matched a DNA sample of an ancient bear 40,000 to 120,000 years old at the time where bears split into separate polar and brown species. The pelts are evidence that a brown bear, polar bear hybrid is living in the rugged Himalayas and may be what people have been considering a Yeti.
