The Indian Army Mountaineering Expedition Team's claim of having sighted "mysterious footprints" of the Yeti at the Makalau Base Camp in the Himalayas attracted much amusement on Twitter, though some did congratulate the team.
"For the first time, an #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team has sited mysterious footprints of mythical beast 'Yeti' measuring 32x15 inches close to Makalu Base Camp on April 9, 2019," the Army's Additional Directorate General of Public Information tweeted late on Monday.
The spokesperson posted photographs of the large footprints spotted in the snow, which he claimed measured up to 32 by 15 inches,.
