I've heard about these strange critters, though seldom seen by human eyes they are closely related to the snoshoe hare, distant relatives to the abominal snowman. See how his feet look so small, yet he makes such large prints in the snow...

You have a point there! This guy was born with snowshoes. I was hiking out to shovel the roof of the stagecoach when I heard the sound of appoaching pawbeats. Ahh,company! I had to fling the snow as far as I could because he was quietly snooping around somewhere below. Never a dull moment with these creatures.
