The Mande Barung, or Mande Burung is an alleged ape-like creature said to inhabit the Meghalaya subtropical forests in the remote Garo Hills of the north east of India and in Bangladesh.
Generally described as a large, hairy bipedal hominoid, some believe that this animal, or its close relatives, may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti of Tibet and Nepal,the Ban-manush in Bangladesh, the Yeren of mainland China, and the Bigfoot of the Pacific northwest region of the United States and the Canadian province of British Columbia.
It is one of the lesser-known examples of cryptozoology. Most scientific experts consider the Mande Barung to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes.
