I have this page from a cryptozoology site in Italian but I don't have a good English translation for it. I'll send the link through anyway:
--This is all very good and pretty definite information: The Dremo is the "Big Hairy Monster" confused with the Yeti that turns out to be a large brown (Blue) bear. Its overall appearance and stance make that much pretty certain.
And the Brown bear has a peculiar non-human stance when standing up on its hind legs
That is depicted as what the DreMo is like:
Note the way the forelimbs are held, and the fact that the forepaws have CLAWS. The way the back legs are bent and the line of the back are also typical of a large brown bear. The humanlike face would be the most inaccurate part of the depiction, but seen front-on the face of a brown bear looks a good deal flatter than it really is.
Another striking feature is that this creature is differentiated from what the Tibetan monk wants translated as a "Gorilla", the "Standard" Yeti type. It would seem there is a bigger "Gorilla" and a smaller "Chimp" involved in reports of the type, but it does seem clear that although there is a clear case of complete confusion, there is also a basic distinction in the Native mind between apelike and bearlike creatures.
It would be easier to say "The bearlike creature reports are the bigger ones and the apelike creature reports are the smaller ones" but unfortunately that part is not so clear-cut either.

And I have a Babel Fish translation for what I thought was the important part further down:
The Dre-Mo word in fact is used in Tibet in order to define the different variety of tawny[brown] bear, together to " Chemo" , " Chemong" , " Dredmo" and " Dremo". Considered the totally quadruped travelling point, lthe absence of visible heels in the feet, and the way with which the animal was procuring the food, is convinced that it was be a matter of a normal bear.
Interesting but to notice as the monk it insisted in the fact that the Dre-Mo is different from the " gorilla" , using in order to define quest' last the word " Me; , with which in Tibet, together to the names " Me; , " Megur" , " Miegye" , " Migeye" , " Mighu" , " Migio" , " Migu" , " Migyur" , " Mirgod" , " Mirka" , " Ui-go" , the yeti is designated meant like a various creature dall' bear and similar to the monkey, that it possesses long hair much on the head.--This is all very good and pretty definite information: The Dremo is the "Big Hairy Monster" confused with the Yeti that turns out to be a large brown (Blue) bear. Its overall appearance and stance make that much pretty certain.
