Blending in

It's a funny thing about yetis. Some people don't believe they exist. Most picture them as ferocious beasts that kill livestock and hide from humans. But the truth is quite the opposite.

Yetis are in fact vegetarians. They hide out in different parts of Tibet trying to lay low. To keep from being seen they will often nestle in with livestock in attempts to blend in with the sheep. It's a co-dependent relationship, the sheep want the intimidating stature of the yeti around for protection, and the yeti just wants to be left alone from prying humans.

I understand why we believe them to be ferocious. After all the tale of a wild and fearsome monster is perhaps more interesting to us than that of a very fluffy over-sized sheep.
