He’s the Yeren, China’s answer to Bigfoot. A group of scientists and adventurers are looking for international help to find the half-man, half-ape, which is said to have black, red or gray hair all over its body. More than 400 people have reported Yeren sightings over the years, and investigations in the 1970s and 1980s uncovered hair, excrement, footprints and a sleeping nest, Reuters reports. Chinese Bigfoot Expedition in Planning Stages. In order to appreciate the practicality of this suggestion, researchers of the Yeren in China should assume something about the behavior of the Yeren: They likely make some very loud sounds on occasion.
You can assume Yeren do this because animals of the same description in North America make very loud sounds occasionally. The sound behavior of bigfoots was noticed by researchers in North America decades ago, and then supported by an accumulating amount of witness testimony, and eventually recordings. By different reasoning, you can assume that Yeren vocalize because they must vocalize (or make loud sounds in other ways). Their family units must divide at times, and then must relocate each other later on in different places. If they separate even a short distance in a dense forest they will not be able to see each other, so they must make loud sounds to find each other periodically.

However, according to another story, a few backpackers from Shanghai went to visit Taibai Mountain, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, and started climbing the mountain in Houzhenzi Village, Zhouzhi County.

Yuan dabbles in stories of abduction, including those of two farmers who say they were kidnapped by Bigfoot but escaped to tell the tale.
Another person claimed to have spent two hours in conversation with the creature, who reportedly gesticulated and mimicked bird sounds. "They're very clever," said Yuan, a retired paleoanthropologist and member of the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yuan describes Bigfoot as more than 6 1/2 feet tall, with reddish brown hair, long limbs and a rather nasty case of body odor. In 1976-77, the government sponsored a Bigfoot expedition to Shennongjia consisting of 100 people, including army personnel. That trip and others yielded numerous samples of what Yuan maintains are the hair, footprints and feces of an undiscovered species, possibly descended from a giant ape whose fossilized teeth can still be found in the region.
