James Stewart

I'm James Stewart and you're watching Asteroom Earth.

Now I know what you might be thinking, why is he making a video about yetis?

Clearly there's no way these things can be real, right?

And I would have agreed with you, really, I would.

But something about yetis has just always bothered me.

Every year there's a new story, a new discovery, a new leaked picture somewhere online.

And how can there be this much smoke without fire?

If it's not a Yeti that we're seeing, then it has to be something else.

And I want to know what that is.

That's just how my brain works.

So join me in this video as we delve into the world of the fabled Yeti and meet its Amazonian equivalent, known as the Mapinguari.

How is it that centuries-old rumours of their existence still circulate?

Is there any truth behind the swathes of evidence?

Or can science finally explain what lies hidden in the wilderness?

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a glimmer of hope that something unknown, something abnormal could be roaming the Himalayas sprung back to life.

Something enthusiasts hurriedly linked to the Yeti.

The media frenzy was as intense as the Yeti sightings of old.

Just imagine, finally, actual scientific evidence of a giant polar bear-like creature lurking in Tibet.

Finally, they had cracked the case.

That was until something brought Sykes and the millions of other intrepid jetty hunters crashing back down to Earth.
