A snowman has been caught in Russia and they don't know what to do with him now. Servicemen of the Border Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation for Ingushetia caught a strange two-meter creature similar to a snowman in the forest in the Dzheyrakh district of Ingushetia, the Minister of Labor and Social Development of the republic Bagaudin Marshani told Interfax-Yug.

"A few days ago, in the Dzheyrakh district, a hunter saw a bear grab a ram and drag it into the forest. The hunter followed him, fired several shots, after which the animal jumped on two legs and disappeared into the forest. And today the border guards carried out a sweep in this area, and a strange animal was found in a small hollow," B. Marshani said.

According to him, the captured creature was brought to the zoo, located on the territory of the subordinate rest house in the village of Surkhakhi in the Nazran district of Ingushetia.

"I'll tell you: the animal looks like a gorilla about two meters tall, dark in color, presumably a female, very large. Usually a gorilla leans on his front arms, and this one stands upright like a human. He growls and makes incomprehensible sounds," the minister said.

According to him, the animal is very scared, feeds mainly on meat and vegetation.

"Some say it's a snowman, others say it's a big monkey, but, to be honest, I've never seen such a thing in my life," B. Marshani stressed.

According to him, usually large gorillas have long and massive arms. And this animal has short arms and stands like a man on two legs…
