Chasing black shadows: Hairy Man

I want to thank Michael for sending me this video. Michael writes “Hi Wes thought you might like this fella. With the aboriginal’s stories think back 50 to 70 thousand years. They walked and battled other hominids”

Yowie is one of several names given to a hominid reputed to live in the Australian wilderness. The creature has its roots in Aboriginal oral history. In parts of Queensland, they are known as quinkin (or as a type of quinkin), and as joogabinna, in parts of New South Wales they are called jurrawarra, myngawin, puttikan, gubba, doolaga, gulaga and thoolagal. Other names include yahoo, yaroma, noocoonah, wawee, pangkarlangu, jimbra and tjangara.

    ~ Wouldn’t catch me “drop kicking” a chimp, so why would you think to do that with this “little hairy man”? Bet it’s a strong little booger too! ~ Good video. Thanks Wes. 🙂
