Explorer finds key to Yeti mystery

Tests by experts at Cambridge University and in Australia have shown hairs and a footprint found on an Indonesian expedition by Newcastle's Andrew Sanderson and two fellow explorers do not belong to any known species.
The intrepid trio were searching for the mythical Orang Pendek, also known as the Sumatran Yeti. World-renowned hair expert Dr Hans Brunner spent 18 months analysing DNA gathered by the trio and concluded it matches no known animal. Cambridge University primatologist Dr David Chivers has confirmed his findings and the two men are about to publish a paper on the subject.
