Yowie
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''.
As is the case with the North American Sasquatch, many people discount the existence of the yowie considering it more likely to be a combination of misidentification, folklore and hoax. Yowie-type creatures are common in Aboriginal Australian legends, particularly in the eastern Australian states.
==Description==
The yowie is described to be a cryptid which resembles the Himalayan Yeti and the North American Sasquatch. The yowie is usually said to be a hairy and ape-like creature standing upright at between and . The yowie's feet are said to be much larger than a human's,〔 but alleged yowie tracks are inconsistent in shape and toe number, and the descriptions of yowie foot and footprints provided by yowie witnesses are even more varied than those of bigfoot. The yowie's nose is said to be wide and flat.〔
Behaviourally, some report the yowie can seem timid or shy.〔 Others suspect that the yowie is sometimes violent or aggressive.〔
