The Australian Ape Project
Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Jay of the Bizarre Zoology blog. For info on weird and amazing facts/theories of zoology, paleontology, and cryptozoology go to bizarrezoology.blogspot.com or follow him on Twitter.While browsing the Internet, I stumbled across an interesting blog called The Australian Ape Project. This blog is used to chronicle discoveries and activities of a team made up of independent wildlife enthusiasts and bush survival experts who are investigating reports of ape-like creatures at a location on the coast of Queensland. According to the team (consisting of Ray Doherty, Nigel Francis, Anthony Laponovich and Brad Payne), their expeditions (which started in 2011) have brought forth fruitful evidence such as tree and ground nests, nonhuman footprints, ape-like vocalizations, tree knocking, quick glimpses, and even a few alleged photographs. I will be sharing the evidence here, but I also wanted to share an interesting chart which depicts their theory of how the 'Australian Apes' (often referred to as Yowies and the Junjudee) made it to Australia.
The question of how these animals got to Australia was my problem with the existence of 'Australian Bigfoot' for a long time. I had originally theorized that perhaps the 'Australian Bigfoot' could be descendants of Homo erectus which had rafted to Australia. However, I have read that a land bridge between Southeast Asia and Australia very likely existed (as the sea levels in the region were much lower) and could allow pongids like Gigantopithecus to make it there. If a land bridge didn't exist, island hopping is always a possibility which known animals have used.This chart by Ray Doherty is intriguing, and is an interesting theory on how these primates got to Australia.

ReplyDeleteTry not to use food as a tool,instead trying using rock stacking. Something different that other animals are not capable of eating. It is real easy to fall into this trap and believe that they are getting your food when in fact that they are not the only creatures out there that are intrested in a free meal. If you ask them to knock they will respond with a knock at least the ones that i have dealt with in Michigan have. Everyone of them are different and may react differently depending on the area.Not one is the same just like us as people we all have character so do they. Some like us people and some do not some can tolerate us and some would rather not and the one's who do not. Well stay far away from us .They know and i mean they know us,whether you like it or not they found you and it is up to you to accept.
DeleteThe crazy is strong with this one.
DeleteThey are a type of Lemur.
DeleteFirst Aussie
ReplyDeleteIntriguing that you made it here first did you make it here through the use of a land bridge or did yoy raft on down the mighty Mississippi with Huck and gigantopithicus?
ReplyDeleteIf people are interested in Yowie hunters I can recommend TheRusty222's youtube channel:

DeleteThe Finding Bigfoot was Just There looking 4 This also!

DeleteNothing.
DeleteAs usual, they found nothing and liked it. I can't wait for the next episode of Finding Nothing.
DeleteUm sir that's what I saw. Um sir that I saw a Bigfoot.
DeleteGo yowies! Yowie yowie yowie! Oi oi oi! As Steve Irwin used to say "Yowies rule!"
ReplyDeleteMy down under Brothers....Oiiiii

Who are you?
DeleteI woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name...
Delete^ Awesome! The Who rule!
DeleteSeems legit.
DeleteI think you have the good, the bad and the ugly with Bigfoot. There have been instances of them even saving a drowning person, helping a snake bite victim out of the woods or returning a lost child. On the other hand, there are recorded instances of people of being attacked or just come up missing?? Just like a big city, there are places you are safe, other areas you should avoid. Knowing which, when and where might be a problem not easily answered.
ReplyDeleteKen: who know's? Not me for sure.
DeleteFinally, a non know it all. Where the hell are you from? You need to give lessons to Meldrum and all those talking heads. How about admitting we don't really know anything about the undiscovered species of the world, but then that's not nearly as glamorous to watch on TV or hear on the radio.thanks for some honesty any way Ken.
DeleteBREAKING: Melba Ketchum claims to have sequenced Lorax DNA, from a Bigfoot sample and says that the Lorax mated with humans, as recently as 50 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a Lorax touch me in my bikini area but I'm willing to try it for science
DeleteKen: why do you all have to make a joke out of something as serious as Melba Ketchum's Bigfoot studies? Can you all not see the important's of such a study and by such a scientist. You people are making a mockery of the greatest discovery of the century. And if we are not careful, Melba will give up on this noble absolutely scientifically motivated quest, and do what so many others have done. She will finally be seeking fortune and fame in the pursuit of the all mighty dollars. We are so luck to have her doing this noble work without hope of riches, just for the good of the world. What a Lady, What a scientist, what a joke.
DeleteShe is a goddess - a living goddess. She can create a journal out of nothing. She can take one Zagnut bar and feed a bigfoot tribe of hundreds. She can change an ordinary pancake into a blueberry pancake by the stroke of her hand.
DeleteShe is sacrificing herself for our sin of not believing. How dare we question her.
No body no proof. Next!
ReplyDeleteWe've got reports and footprints, that's almost as good.
DeleteThe person who has single handedly pwned footers the most.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say bob h. Not only did he portray a Bigfoot perfectly he has openly told everyone about it and yet the footers still think its real. Absolute pwnage!
Bob H is a liar, I am the guy in the suit. All you guillable skeptards bought Ol'Bobs story with zero proof. Zip. Nadda. No goose egg. How must it feel to have been hoaxed skeptics? TELL ME!?
DeleteBend over, I'll let you know. ^^
DeleteGood article!
