The word "yeti" is believed to have come from the Sherpa phrase "yeh-teh", meaning "rock thing." Yeti are large anthropoid creatures, covered by fur that is generally white. Their faces and chests are hairless, their heads are elongated and slightly pointed, and they have long arms. Depending on region, yeti can range from about five and a half feet to almost eight feet tall. These animals weigh anywhere from 440 to 800 pounds, with males weighing more than the females. Yeti inhabit remote mountain forest habitats, living at altitudes of up to 20,000 feet. There are small populations of yeti scattered across Asia, ranging from China, the Himalayas and on up into the former Soviet Union to Siberia. As you see, its habitat lays on high ground and low temperatures.
