The Russian Yeti turned out to be a duck

The mystery surrounding the recent rumors about the capture of the yeti in the south of Russia has been dispelled. Believe it or not, it all turned out to be a hoax.

News about the capture of the terrible snowman was distributed by a local Russian official. He announced that the animal would be placed in a zoo – and immediately caused an influx of those who wanted to see it.

Now the official admits that one of the hotel employees was wearing a Yeti suit. According to foreign media, he explained that the goal was to attract tourists to donate funds to help orphans.

"The Ingush people have always appreciated a good joke. Naturally, I knew that this was a hoax, but I also think that misinformation is instructive. Friends call me and ask about the "Yeti", I, in turn, ask them a question: Do you also believe in dubious information of various kinds? So, in my opinion, the joke about the "snowman" is useful misinformation, and there is a reason to smile and think," he noted Musa Chiliev.
