AKIPRESS.COM - Hunters discovered and took photos of large footprints of an unknown creature on Suusamyr pasture, Turmush regional news service reports citing eyewitnesses.

One of the hunters, Vladimir Khoroshev, 32, said they've been to Suusamyr last week to hunt wolves by their snow tracks. With binoculars, they noticed a chain of footprints left by an unknown creature, which were very large as if it was a size 50 with the distance between steps no less than 2 meters. They did not want to follow the footprints, just took photos and left. The footprints were found at the distance of 25 kilometers from human settlements. No wolves were found though, just a of foxes some 600-700 meters away from the road.

Khoroshev said this is not the first time he saw footprints this large.  

Ecologist Alexander Sosnovsky commented on the discovery: "It should be noted that people living in the mountains permanently or temporarily - hunters, collectors of medicinal plants - try not to publicize their activities not to draw attention and do not tell about their encounters with traces of any life or meeting himself - the lord of the mountains. But the evidence is still there.

So 7 years ago in 2014, a resident of Kara-Balta, a hunter and nature lover, saw a humanoid creature in one of the gorges of the Chui region while hunting with his friends.

15 years ago in the Chon-Kaindy gorge, locals discovered a chain of bare feet footprints on the snow. 

Another fun fact, in the Jarly gorge in Panfilov district, there is a place in the mountains called Maimyl Tor - a monkey trail. Which monkeys would live in our mountains and walk on their own trails."
