Dzu-Teh ― literally 'The Hulking Living Thing' ― is a Nepalese word for the Himalayan Red Bear, that has been associated with the Yeti and Abominable Snowman phenomenon from its early inception, due to the location of its habitat.
With regards to the Yeti myth, the Dzu-Teh ― alternatively known as Chuti ― is said to be a type of creature proportioned more like a gigantic ape-man, unlike the smaller Meh-teh which is described as a hairy heavy-set man. Yet another alleged type of Himalayan primate is called Teh-lma, this time pygmy sized.

According to reports, the Dzu-Teh is a real giant, very tall and bulky, with a long, dark, shaggy coat, a flat head, and a beetling brow. It has long, powerful arms and huge hands, and very humanlike feet that leave imprints like those of a giant man, but clawed. These creatures are said to be able to stay for long periods in the ruggedest country, and to be stock raiders. They are rumored to have been seen innumerous times walking on all fours, looking almost like a bear, perhaps the origins of the association with the Himalayan Red Bear.
Locals say that the Dzu-Teh is not found either in the Hymalayas or the Southern Tibetan Rim, nor even in the Nan Shans, but to be confined to the unnamed triangle between these, upper Indo-China, and the Chinese escarpment.
