The term Tibetan Mountain Creature refers to the YETI, a legendary creature said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Tibet. It is also known as the Abominable Snowman and is described as an ape-like creature, taller than an average human. The YETI is believed to be a cryptid, an animal whose existence has not been proven by science. Reports of sightings of the YETI have been made since the 19th century, but no physical evidence has been found to support its existence.
