Nyalmo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nyalmo (or nyulmo) is a large primate-like creature allegedly living in the Himalayas. It reputedly grows to a height of fifteen feet and leaves long, four-toed tracks in the mud and snow. Bernard Heuvelmans believed the nyalmo could represent a relict population of Gigantopithecus. ^[1]

The first documented sighting of a Nyalmo occurred in the Himalayas in 1937; a small expedition had come across a group of "twenty-foot" creatures, standing in a circle and chanting, as if in a religious ritual. One of them was beating a hollow tree trunk, as a drum; on their faces was a sad kind of expression, and one of the adventurers later commented that "there was nothing...animal about them."^[2]
