It is believed that the yeti share some characteristics with the mountain gorilla. Like the gorilla, the yeti has an undeserved reputation for fierceness. In reality, a yeti will flee from confrontation, and is believed to have a shy and gentle nature. Yeti tend to live in caves, and may build nests of vegetation for sleeping similar to those constructed by mountain gorillas. Although omnivorous in nature, the yeti is known to prey mostly upon yak and sheep, supplementing its diet with forage. Yeti are primarily nocturnal in nature, although they may also be active during part of the day. The yeti's lungs are adapted to the thin air of their mountain homes, and they are prone to develop lung disease when exposed for long periods to the heavier air of lower altitudes.
