International Center of Hominology
Igor Burtsev of the International Center of Hominology claims to have obtained and produced evidence that the Menk or Russian Yeti exist.[5] Burtsev's research reflects that a Menk is most notable for having large feet and states “They have bigger foot than the human, and they have short necks, almost without necks,” “[The footprints are] everywhere. For last 50 years, I’ve find signs of Yeti, confirmed by reports of eyewitnesses. They’re about 5,000.”[5]
