Yowie

The Yowie has been in the legends and tales of the indigenous Australian
people for the last 40 millennium. It has been seen by many people over those
years. Many of the reports have been ridiculed and thus a lot of sightings
have gone unreported.From the ones that have been reported we can come up with
the following information.Most yowies sighted are 6 - 9 feet tall. The hair is
normally brown, although there are cases where the reported hair was
Reddish/brown; Dusty light brown, Grey or Black covering the whole body except
the immediate face. The hair length seems vary depending on climate, normally
between 2-4 inches. They have large eyes that often glow red at night; and
some people have reported yellow eyes also. They have thick dark skin on the
face with deep skin folds and a flattened wide nose with the forehead slopping
back from the top of the eyes.The footprints are very close to the shape of a
Humans, but a lot larger, normally reported to be around 12-15 inches long and
6 inches wide. They often have a strong odor of defecation and urination,
although some people describe the smell as rotten eggs. They are powerfully
built animals with broad shoulders, no neck and muscular legs similar to an
ape, yet upright. We estimate their weight between 500-800 pounds. They walk
sometimes hunched over with their legs bent and there arms hanging low.The
Yowies are omnivorous; they have been seen shaking trees to make their prey
fall out. They've been known to steal chickens and other farmyard animals and
run off into the bush with them. They have been seen eating fruit from
people's orchids and going through people's garbage bins and rubbish tips. The
yowies also eat grain, eggs, insects, mice, grubs, roots, frogs, most animals,
and road kill or basically anything they can lay their hands on. They are big
on dismemberment of animals, even as large as horses. They love calves,
Kangaroos, lambs and jubles (a particular type of witchity grub) that live in
growing trees hence the tree bites. They also eat the moist back side of the
tree bark which holds moisture.To date no one has taken a picture of the
yowie, but we are all waiting for that elusive photographic evidence to hang
our collective hats on. Until that day comes we all live in hope that a big
hairy mammal will venture into the viewing lens of some lucky bushwalker
(hopefully carrying a camera).
