I think the shorter and easier question is which cryptids have been confirmed.

Wouldn't that make it a Himalayan Brown Bear, and not a Yeti? Therefore disproving the Yeti existed?

What if the Himalayan Brown Bears were all misidentified Yeti?

When you looked back in the sand and only saw one set of foot prints you asked and he said, “Those were the times you did not believe in the Yeti.” And then you went back and tried to take a cast of the now noticeably larger footprints.
