The Dzu-Teh is the Himalayan Red Bear (Ursus isabellinus Horsfield). It is often associated with the Himalayan Blue Bear (Ursus pruinosus Blyth) and the Himalayan Brown Bear, (Ursus arctos isabellinus), with regard to the Yeti myth and later the Abominable Snowman (circa 1921), phenomenon from its early inception due to the location of its Himalayan habitat.
