migration

I have been reading reports and i am wondering if anyone has tried to piece together maybe a migratory map, seeing that yowie sighting numbers differ from winter to summer (which way I've forgotten) and that there should be enough overall atrticles to piece some sort of crude time, location and seasonal map together. My theory being that if by chance it does seem to migrate to to a more perfered climate that this could offer an edge to knowing where pottential hot spots are and when by the evidence that is available. can anyone shed some light on this for me. cheers Treno [/b]

Who says they migrate?

Move around, sure.

Home? Always return..............

Migrate? In the true sense of the word - Doubt. Unless moving with the movements of the prey during certain seasons.

hi ya ,
i dont think they migrate.
they do cover a large hunting/home area
and might only move to a new valley or range to hunt
when their food supply gets low.
you could get a wandering male looking for a mate
in a new area.

I think they follow their basic needs. If the water dries up they need to look for more.

Would Australia really be cold enough to worry about the need to migrate? I could imagine that they might want to move a little lower down the mountain, but I shouldn't imagine a little snow would be to upsetting to them! If they are fully vegitarian then they may need to forage further below the snowline, I don't think the snow would be a major issue, the drought would probably upset things more.

What about a big hairy animal in qld during summer? Wouldnt it be a little warm?

There may be differences between the cryptids in the north and those in the south.

Perhaps those in the north have shorter, thinner hair and those in the south longer and thicker hair.

Then again, perhaps their body odor is simply directly proportionaly to their level of heat discomfort.

Bowhunter,

They seem to spend most of their time in the day during the hotter seasons in the lower grounds such as valleys and creek beds, as it's far cooler down there.

I don't believe they migrate, but move to cooler, warmer or more resource friendly places - as we all would. Never think of them as an Animal. Think as we would.

As I have always said - home is always home.

i have to agree with steve_tracker i dont think they migrate i think they have one very large teritory and from what ive heared on yowiehunter they are very teritorial. even with this so i think they may share the teritory in large groups, thats the only way my encounter could be plausable.
