Ep 67: The Yeti
We are all familiar with the depictions of the Abominable Snowman, an enormous bipedal white man beast. What if I told you that’s not what he actually looks like? The Abominable Snowman, aka the Yeti is actually described as being a large hominid like creature with broad shoulders, prominent brow, and reddish-brown or black fur. Come take a listen on episode 67 of Legend as Amy tells Samm all about the Yeti, from its past of being a worshiped hunting god to the possibilities of it being a bear thought to be extinct.
