In {{TOT}} we discover the species has an ability to manipulate time, so presumably the two specimens encountered in {{MP}} learnt from what would otherwise have been a terminal encounter with a thousand elephants on bobsleighs - presumably they were able to pause and rewind, to a point where they could decide to be in a place where a thousand elephants on bobsleighs weren't.

They are hunted for their feet, which as everyone knows have aphrodisiac qualities, as big feet mean other extremities are also oversized. [[Well-Known Facts|Well-known fact]], that is. <br />

The [[wikipedia:Yeti|Yeti]], on [[Roundworld]], is an example of cryptozoology, a large man-like creature reputed to inhabit the high places of the [[wikipedia:Himalayas|Himalayas]]. Often seen, but only by unreliable people with no zoological training, like local natives, and mountaineers who must evidently be running out of oxygen and hallucinating.<br />
<br />
The Yeti has a North American cousin, the ''Sasquatch (aka [[wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]])''....<br />
