Several expeditions have been organized to track down the Yeti, but none have found more than footprints and questionable artifacts like scalps and hides. The Daily Mail backed an enormous expedition, the "1954 Yeti Everest Expedition", putting Izzard in charge. The team was made up of several respected scientists, including zoologist Charles Stonor, Tom Stobart, Dr. Biswamoy Biswas, and Gerald Russell, who had assisted in the capture of the first live Panda. With 250 coolies in tow, the Yeti Expedition succeeded in scaring the hell out of everything on Everest for the 6 months it was in the field. Though the expedition never recovered a Yeti, it did track several trails of footprints.
