KATHMANDU, Nepal (Reuters) -- A Japanese expedition equipped with infrared cameras will scour the Nepali Himalayas in search of the legendary Yeti, or Abominable Snowman, the team leader said on Monday.
Yoshiteru Takahashi said he had seen footprints on Mount Dhaulagiri during trips to the world's seventh-highest mountain in the 1970s and 1990s which he believed belonged to the Yeti.
"They [the footprints] were very, very close to human footsteps," Takahashi, the 60-year-old who works in a housing firm in Tokyo, told Reuters.
