The hairless beast was trapped by hunters in Sichuan province after locals reported spotting what they thought was a bear.

Hunter Lu Chin explained: "It looks a bit like a bear but it doesn't have any fur and it has a tail like a kangaroo."


If that's a Yeti, this is an alien
"It also does not sound like a bear - it has a voice more like a cat and it is calling all the time - perhaps it is looking for the rest of its kind or maybe it's the last one?

"There are local legends of a bear that used to be a man and some people think that's what we caught," he added.

Local animal experts now plan to shipped the mystery beast to scientists in Beijing who will perform DNA tests on the beast.

The poor thing. It has hair, you can see small patches of hair on the critter, but it looks like it has a bad skin condition. It also looks like it has scratched itself up itching.

It looks like a hairless raccoon. I guess when you allow a country that is made up of slant eyed khazars that have absolutely no concern for their environment, and impose draconian laws in your own, this would be the result.

Looks like a hairless possum to me, things happen and animals get skin/hair diseases.

Yeah - where is the fooking logic here? A yeti wtf? last of it's kind - looking for others- rare? oh yeah let's throw it in a cage....wtf..

Just looks like some effed up mammal - some kind of dog or racoon - mankind is ....marooon!!!

edit - actually kinda looks like the ole Tasmanian devil thing eh...thick tail, long snout....but no hair...

The "Yeti" aka Abominable Snowman, is definitely NOT this poor creature. this appears to be a Raccoon of sort with the mange

That poor creature is EXACTLY what I expect to see when I first peer cautiously into a mirror the morning after one of those quiet nights out for "just a couple of beers".
