Summary: <p>It’s October, MONSTER MONTH! We’re starting it off right with an episode about the Yeti! I literally could have made this episode an hour long without even touching on half the information out there, but no one wants to listen to me talk for that long. If you’re intrigued and want to hear more about our big furry friend from the Himalayas, check out the fine podcasts listed below.</p> <p>The Himalayas, in map form:</p> <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-333" src="http://strangeanimalspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Himalayas-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="189"></p> <p>A Himalayan brown bear (tongue blep alert!):</p> <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-334" src="http://strangeanimalspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Himalayan-Brown-Bear-Images-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200"></p> <p>A bear standing up (this is a brown bear from Alaska but I like the picture. Bears stand up a lot):</p> <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-335" src="http://strangeanimalspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1205011820331bear-standing-in-stream-alaska0826_y_-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300"></p> <p><strong>Recommended listening:</strong></p> <p>Museum of Natural Mystery – episode 14: “<a href="https://pome-mag.com/museum-natural-mystery-exhibit-14-backtracking-bigfoot/">Backtracking with Bigfoot</a>” – highly recommended for information about North American bigfoot/Sasquatch lore and history. It’s family friendly and not very long. I heart it.</p> <p>MonsterTalk – episode 116 “<a href="https://www.skeptic.com/podcasts/monstertalk/16/10/26/">Yetipalooza</a>” – lots of Yeti information and some terrible, terrible puns</p> <p>Strange Matters Podcast – “<a href="http://www.strangematterspodcast.com/tag/yeti/">Legendary Humanoid Creatures</a>” – a good overview of a lot of different bigfoot type monsters, including the Yeti</p> <p>Hidden Creatures Podcast – Episode Six A “<a href="http://www.hiddencreaturespodcast.com/episode-six-part-one---yearning-for-the-yetis-discovery.html">Yearning for the Yeti’s Discovery</a>” and Episode Six B “<a href="http://www.hiddencreaturespodcast.com/episode-six-part-two---the-yeti-yet-again.html">The Yeti…Again</a>” – lots of info on the Yeti</p> <p>All of the above should be family friendly, with possible mild language.</p> <p><strong>Resources/further reading</strong>:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Historical-Bigfoot-Chad-Arment/dp/1930585306">The Historical Bigfoot</a> by Chad Arment</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Abominable-Science-Origins-Nessie-Cryptids/dp/023115321X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1506349435&sr=1-1">Abominable Science!</a> by Daniel Loxton and Donald R.
