| | "Yeti from Georgia" appeared to be made of rubber.
Swindlers tricked and made a laughing stock of the group of enthusiasts, who are engaged in search of Yeti: Swindlers sold a crude imitation to the group.
Once again, group of hunters, looking for “Bigfoot” – “Yeti” of American woods, could not succeed in catching the mysterious creature. Body, trapped under the block of ice and brought by them for carrying out DNA test turned out to be a rubber stuffed animal. However, fans-researchers are not especially disappointed: history has increased the attendance to their site and radio programs, dedicated to searches of yetis, live dinosaurs and other mysterious monsters.
Let's remind, that the first information about finding of huge body of semi-person-semi-ape appeared several days ago. Enthusiasts-hunters Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer published press release and pictures of findings in the local newspaper of State of Georgia. Both asserted that they have found body in woods and semi-people-semi-apes ran around the body.
On Friday, biologist Curt Nelson from Georgia carried out analysis on “samples from the body of monster”, which were given to him by enthusiasts-hunters. And here is the report: one of samples contained DNA of human being and the other – an opossum. And the conclusion is that the body is a fake one.
With a wish not to trust in failure, enthusiasts waited eagerly till the entire body, placed in freezing chamber, completely thaws. And waited – head and foot of “Yet” were made of ordinary rubber. Other parts of body bore a strong resemblance to monkey, which is sold in local shop, and teeth of “monster” were usual set of false teeth.
One interesting fact is this - in the beginning, enthusiasts stated that they found “yeti” and according to more latest BBC news, they purchased the body from someone else. Obviously, “samples” too. And enthusiasts are not revealing the name of person, from whom they purchased, and for how much. Well, for more authenticity to this history, they told that apart from the body, they personally saw live yetis. “Researchers” can be understood –that someone simply swindled and sold shaggy carnival suit, researchers did not want to admit. All the same, as one of the researchers informed that the enthusiasts are quite serious about their missions – either to find “Bigfoot” or prove that the “Bigfoot” does not exist.
Nevertheless, all statements about similar findings do not go beyond the well-known film of 1967 of Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin. Gigantic hairy ape, making way through snow, is embodied in the film. Film brought popularity and few money to authors. The film was shown in many theaters and the creators were invited to television show. Authenticity of recording was discussed several years and only in 2002 appeared admittance of person, who made the costume of ape for Patterson.
