Video proof of the Yeti finally emerged from the wilds of Siberia and presented to the international community after reports on Monday that the research team had stumbled on indisputable proof of the creature's existence.

The footage presented shows hair and footprints that are allegedly from the Abominable Snowman the research team comprised of international scientist, found a week ago in the coal-mining region of Kemerovo.

"During the expedition to the Azasskaya cave, conference participants gathered indisputable proof that the Shoria mountains are inhabited by the 'Snow Man'," the Kemerovo region administration said in a statement.

"Conference participants came to the conclusion that the artifacts found give 95% evidence of the habitation of the 'snow man' on Kemerovo region territory," the statement continued.

"In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti," it added.

The research team had been searching the area for signs of the Yeti after sightings of the mysterious creature began pouring in from eye-witnesses. Kemerovo's governor had invited the researchers from various countries including the U.S. and Canada to search for the Yeti in the region.

The scientific community however remains unaffected by the so-called proof from the researchers. Until the hair can be subjected to genetic testing that shows it didn't come from known animals, the hair alone isn't enough to convince the scientific community about the Yeti's existence in the Siberian tundra.

Unless the researchers find more evidence, most notably a set of bones scientists can run tests on or even indisputable video evidence of the creature, the Yeti will remain just another tall tale.
