The Cookes' giant prints
In June 1944 C. R. Cooke, his wife Margaret and their porters found very large two-legged prints in snow in Sikkim, and photographed them with Margaret's sunglasses for scale.

The account
Cooke described prints 14 inches from heel to toe, with the great toe set back to one side, a large first toe and three small toes bunched together.
The sceptical view
A careful description, but melted or overlapping bear tracks can produce similar shapes, as later work in Nepal showed.
