Hey Australian's...Yowie?

[Thomps991]

Was watching that hilarious show 'Finding Bigfoot' last night and they we're lookin for "Yowies" in your Homeland.  Any of you guys ever see a Yowie when out on your GS? lol

Plus the one guys name on the show is BoBo and that's just funny on its own.

My son goes to preschool with a Russian named bobo. I live in the USA.

Never heard that name anywhere else before.

Yowies live in the forest under the canopies that are created by yellow bellied drop bears.  They have a symbiotic relationship in that they both feed off the remnants of each others kill.  Yowies cannot crack skulls effectively and yellow bellied drop bears feed of the brains of victims contained within their skulls.  So yowies each the flesh of the victim leaving the skulls for the drop bears.  If a drop bear gets a victim they feast on the skull contents and leave the body for the yowies.  Very symbiotic as the yowies live under the canopies created by drop bears that the drop bears use to launch their attack from and live on.

Having done a bit of camping and hiking as a youngster I have seen the remnants of these attackers.  The most effective way to put off an attack is to smear vegemite on your face, the smell puts both species off, its why us aussies love it so much.

Never seen one while on the GS, but otherwise, YES! More than once. And each time it was a surprise and I felt my body go cold - is that from adrenalin beginning to surge?

Aussies are all taught from young - via parents and schools teachers on school camps - how to camp out without becoming a victim of either a Yowie or Drop Bear.

We also have up hear the Buderim Beast. I have also seen this first hand, at night, while I was driving my car. It came at me from the side of the road, just missed the car then stood under the street lamp I'd just gone under watching me drive away. It was a feline animal roughly the size of a great dane  . Yeah, I went cold then too.

Listen to the song from the Scared Weird Little Guys - Come To Australia, You Might Accidentally Get Killed. Not sure if this is viewable, but this is the 2nd deadliest snake in the world - the deadliest is also from Aust -  and it just came into out workzone https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4759137415713

It's not the yowies it's the bunyips

Bunyips feed of the remainders after the yowies and drop bears are finished, they live in burrows near the yowie and drop bear habitats.

Dammit Cods, now I'm up for more fines.

I saw a bloody big bunyip in South Australia when I was a kid. S-C-A-R-Y. Fortunately the locals had it contained in a strong cage. No idea what happened to it.

Down in that part of the country the Bunyips are usually found in rivers and lakes and some of the larger waterholes. They are sorta like big hairy crocodiles but with longer legs and shorter tails so they move faster on land.

Yeah, I've seen that show - Finding Bigfoot. BoBo is his nickname.

I watch them and wonder....

Why do they do one half night thing far away from where people say they saw things? Why don't they use trail cameras? Just as useless and melodramatic as that Hunting UFOs thing where they camp out for a few hours somewhere trying to find a UFO/Alien.

Yall are in luck since said warning is wiki it can be edited out or to be paid into poster lol

Watching "American Pickers" the other week they visited a guy whose name was BoBo.

Just waiting for the next celebrity newborn to be named BoBo...
