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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1981 PAUL CROPPER and TONY HEALY have collaborated on many projects. Over the past 30 years they have searched for lake monsters, hairy giants, out-of-place big cats and other semi-legendary animals in Fiji, North America, the Bahamas, Iceland, Ireland, Great Britain, Nepal, Malaysia and in every state and territory of Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Healy, Paul Cropper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1933665165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933665160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anomalist Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Tony Healy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937538572543,"sku":"9781933665160","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fd1859a9-0fea-49c1-9204-923d6ed3d03e.jpg?v=1681430659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-yowie-tony-healy-9781933665160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
