Some time ago, I remember reading about some people fishing not far from the shore on a lake in North America. A large Grizzly came into sight in the nearby treeline. They watched it for a while before it suddenly took off at full speed. Moments later… you guessed it… they watched as a huge Squatch appeared and stood where the bear was before moving off. It seems the ol’ Grizzly knows his place in the forest and doesn’t want to mess with a Bigfoot!
So what could possibly challenge a Yowie or Bigfoot? On the local scene, a 20 foot or 6 metre saltwater crocodile can weigh as much as 1500-2000 kilos so I reckon even a 10 foot tall Yowie would be in a bit of strife against one of those prehistoric monsters. I think Yowies would have to take a lot of care when drinking from some North Queensland rivers. The Skunk Ape is Florida's Bigfoot and shares it's dangerous territory with Alligators and enormous man eating Burmese Pythons in the Everglades. The young ones particularly would need to stay on their toes as the pythons are nearing plague proportions.
If Yowies went to swim in the ocean (assuming they can swim), they would have little defence against the massive jaws of a Great White or Tiger Shark. Could that be why the population is stuck on Fraser Island? Or maybe they just like it there… you know, the holiday atmosphere and all that.
How would a something like a ferocious Lion or Tiger fare against a creature as large as a Yowie? Depending on the size of the Yowie it could be an interesting battle. If the battle were in a forest, the Yowie would have the distinct advantage of being able to uproot a nearby tree and use it as a club. That would surely give the Yowie the upper hand.
I thought the dingo was the only threat.
