Australia's most baffling zoological mystery During the early
colonial era, Australia's Aborigines often warned British settlers
to beware of huge, ape-like creatures that lurked in the rugged
mountains and deep forests of the island continent. Their people,
they said, had been encountering the hairy horrors since time
immemorial. They knew them by many names, including doolagarl,
thoolagarl, jurrawarra and tjangara. Soon the colonists, too, began
to experience hair-raising encounters with the hulking,
foul-smelling creatures, which they referred to as "Australian
apes," "yahoos" or "youries." Today, they are generally referred to
as yowies. The list of modern-day eyewitnesses includes zoologists,
rangers, surveyors and members of the elite Special Air Service
Regiment. This book chronicles the yowie saga from the pre-colonial
era to the present day. It contains over 300 carefully documented
eyewitness reports and a vast amount of other data, much of which
suggests that the damnably elusive creatures really do exist. The
authors also critically examine the many theories that have been
put forward to explain - or explain away - Australia's most
baffling zoological mystery.
