Warm January Weather Means Increased Yeti Sightings

Prospect Park safety officials have designated northern regions of the park, particularly the northernmost areas of the Long Meadow, to be “Yeti Caution Zones” due to the increased yeti sightings brought on by the warm late-January weather. Park visitors are advised to avoid those areas until further notice.  

“We don’t know if the park’s yeti are disoriented by the warmer temperatures, or they are simply easier to spot with no snow on the ground,” said Tenzin Jamyang, Prospect Park Co-Director of Alpine Cryptozoology, “But it is sad to see these popular areas of the park go unused.”

Jamyang expects the yeti sightings to peak within the next week or two, and the areas to be reopened shortly thereafter.
