The Himalayan Beast is a term used to describe two animals native to the Himalayan region: the YAK and the YETI. The YAK is a large, long-haired bovine found in the high altitudes of the Himalayas, Tibet, and Central Asia. It is an important source of food, milk, and transportation for the people living in the region. The YETI, also known as the Abominable Snowman, is a cryptid, or an animal whose existence has not been proven. It is said to inhabit the same regions as the YAK and is described as a large, ape-like creature.
