In a significant development regarding the much-debated "yeti" discovery in the Commonwealth of Wallford, the independent team of scientists, comprising experts from Oranjehaven, Jovantis, Niater, and Patec, has concluded their extensive research. Their findings shed new light on the enigmatic creature, dispelling myths and clarifying the nature of the discovery.

The team's investigation determined that Wallford's announcement of a "yeti" was not made in ill faith. Instead, the creature in question was identified as a gorilla, likely an escapee from a zoo. Its unique appearance, including lightened fur and "horns," can be attributed to environmental factors. The creature's lightened fur was explained by exposure to acidic hot springs and the higher elevation of its habitat, which caused it to absorb more sunlight, further bleaching its hair. The "horns" on its forehead were identified as symptoms of hyperkeratosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of keratin under the skin, which can lead to the formation of cutaneous horns.

These findings provide a rational explanation for the creature's appearance and lay to rest the speculation surrounding the existence of a legendary yeti. It is now evident that the creature was indeed a gorilla with unique physical characteristics resulting from its specific environment and medical condition.

The scientific community, along with the international audience, appreciates the dedication of the research team in unraveling the mystery behind Wallford's claim. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of rigorous scientific inquiry and the pursuit of truth in our ever-curious world.
