Scientists to look for China's Bigfoot

A group of Chinese scientists and explorers is looking for international help to mount a new search for the country’s answer to Bigfoot, known locally as the "Yeren," or "wild man."
Over the years, more than 400 people have claimed sightings of the half-man, half-ape Yeren in a remote, mountainous area of the central province of Hubei.
Expeditions in the 1970s and 1980s yielded hair, a footprint, excrement and a sleeping nest suspected of belonging to the Yeren, but there has been no conclusive proof. According to Xinhua witnesses describe a creature that walks upright, is more than 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) tall and with grey, red or black hair all over its body.
World News reports the Hubei Wild Man Research Association is looking for volunteers from around the world to join them on another expedition to look for the Yeren. Plus about RMB10 million (US$1.5 million) in financing.
