The term 'Beast of the Himalayas' is often used to refer to the YETI, a mythical creature said to inhabit the Himalayan region. The YETI is also known as the Abominable Snowman and is described as an ape-like creature that stands between two and three meters tall. It is believed to be a large, bipedal primate with white fur and long claws. Reports of sightings of the YETI have been made since the 19th century, but no conclusive evidence has been found to prove its existence.
