1843 Newspaper Report: Mysterious 7-Foot 'Yahoo' in Mangrove, Australia

In a video posted on the YouTube channel Dr. Polaris, viewers are taken on a journey through the history and possible existence of the Yowie, Australia's version of Bigfoot. The video begins by discussing a newspaper article from 1843 in the Morning Herald of Sydney, Australia, which reported on the sighting of a "monster" in the neighborhood of Mangrove. This creature was described as being nearly 7 feet tall, with feet like a human but of enormous size, and a body covered in down. It was given the name "Yahoo" and was reported to have been seen multiple times in the area. The video goes on to discuss the similarities between the Yowie and the North American Sasquatch or the Himalayan Yeti, as well as its origins in Aboriginal belief systems. The term "Yahoo" is discussed and its possible origins as a term brought to Australia by British colonists, rather than an Aboriginal word. The video also touches on the possible misinterpretation of Aboriginal traditions by European settlers, who may have interpreted them as descriptions of Flesh and Blood Apes roaming about in the bush. The continued "Yowie flap" spanning the late 19th century and into the first decade of the 20th is also discussed, with newspapers relaying a whole host of close encounters. I found this video to be informative and well-researched. It provides a unique perspective on the origins of the Yowie and its similarities to other cryptids around the world. I would encourage all Bigfoot believers to check out this video and learn more about the fascinating history of the Yowie. It is important to note that the video is based on a discussion from YouTube and the information presented in the video is independent of Squatchable. However, As a researcher of the website, I believe that this video is worth sharing with our readers and encourages them to watch the video and form their own opinions. Wrapping up, the video "The Yowie: Australia's Bigfoot?" posted on the YouTube channel Dr. Polaris, is an informative and intriguing look into the history and possible existence of the Yowie. It is a must-watch for all Bigfoot believers and those interested in cryptozoology. (Excitement level: 7/10)
