A schoolboy on a camping trip in Siberia has found a massive footprint of what could be the mythical Yeti, Russian media has claimed.
Denis Alexandrov, 12, noticed the alleged sign of Bigfoot on an early morning walk with other children close to his tent in the mountainous Shorsky National Park in Kemerovo region.
The print was twice the size of a man’s foot, said his father Andrei, 49.
‘I’m into hunting so I understand a bit about footprints,’ said Andrei, who claimed he did not believe in the Yeti before he witnessed the giant mark in clay.
‘We went to the place were the kids saw the footprint and the only thing I can say was, “I now know it exists”.
‘The creature must have been very tall,’ he told The Siberian Times, ‘The edges of the footprint were sharp, which means the creature left the footprint not too long ago.’
The Big Foot print resembled a human’s, it was claimed.
It had been raining in the night and the campers, who were on a boat trip on remote Mras-Su River, did not hear any strange noises.
Despite their claims, none of the campers are thought to have actually seen the beast itself. It is the second Yeti claim in the region this summer.
Artist and sculptor Andrey Lyubchenko drew a picture of a Yeti that he claimed to have met while out walking in the early morning on 27 July.
He said: ‘It happened so unexpectedly and fast that I had no time to get scared.’
