Yowie is recognised by us. Thats 10 times more important than being recognised by academia.

Spot on ripperton if we are going to wait till academia solves the problem we'll be here till doomsday.

The guy from the documentary linked from from this Sasquatch Chronicles entry seems to think so also:

I’m sorry I haven’t read all of the replies on this thread.

I did read the report.

I know that there was mention of no other reports of similar “freezing” behaviour. But as far as I can recall there is.

There is a report on here, close to me, that states something similar to, - I was driving in my car at night when cresting the hill and my headlights caught a dark figure standing by the side of the road. I did not stop driving and kept going. It was weird because the creature just stood perfectly still as if pretending not to be seen. I thought - well I can still see you there buddy, as I was driving past”.

That is me very badly paraphrasing what the report on here said.

The person reporting found it weird and funny that the creature just froze and pretended not to be seen.

So I am hoping the scientist reads this too.


On another note there is a ted talk from a lady scientist who is very excited talking about h. Naledi.
She explains in the ted talk that she thinks there might be some clarification as to the age of the fossils in the same caves the scientist here talks about. She said there seems to be some evidence that it might be more recent in time than what science first believed.

Here is the link........

Hope this helps.

Would love to hear more and contribute more. I have some other info too.

Cheers Curios Cat

I was thinking at what point would the yowie go from standing still to "trying" to hide to attacking/bluff charging the poor Academic. His mind must be
spinning.

Maybe being on a steep slop (and visible below) the yowie thought it best to stay still, hope the human walks past and does not notice him. Plus the guy did act as though he did not notice the entity. Still though it is difficult to come to grips with, why didn't he move off much earlier, surely he did see the human begin him hike up the slope.

Maybe the hairy wanted him closer!

Unfortunately all the witnesses can do is tell us what happened and what they think it was up to. Anything else on their part is just speculation.

I have a few times stood perfectly still in plain view in high vis gear in the bush when ive seen other people and they never saw me. Once even waved and the guy didn't see me so I'm sure its much easier if you blend in like a hairy does. Not 100% effective obviously and must look pretty dumb if you saw it doing it. ]

Yowiebait, any ideas or theories why, you think, they may want to be seen.
I was thinking about this - I was thinking of possible reasons why they may want to be seen - maybe newer generations are not as wary of humans, humans are encroaching rapidly on hairies domain and hairy territories are getting smaller, younger hairies (males) may need to set territory closer to humans because traditional unclaimed areas are limited or maybe he/she was having a bad day and was not going to move. Maybe a more sinister reason??

Agree re hard to see anything in the bush, especially if there is no movement. Most people walking in the bush are watching the path or area to be traveled and not searching left or right, etc. Unless there is movement, it probably wouldn't be noticed.

Bÿrn Jaoél wrote: Sat Oct 12, 2019 5:40 pm Something about this report is off to me. I think it may be the clumsy, non-academic way he described the difference between hominin and hominin. ALL hominins ARE hominids. Hominideae is the family of primates including ALL apes. Hominin refers to the sub-family of primates WITHIN Hominideae representing all descendants of CHLCA (chimp/human last common ancestor), including genera such as Orrorin, Australopithecus, Homo etc.

I find his cumbersome description of these differences kind of suspicious.

No problems yowiebait I've been called worse. Sorry for delay in reply, been moving house.
It is weird behaviour, especially the Junjadee walking to campfire and not moving/looking other way. I can understand if caught in the open, a reaction would be to remain still and hope they are not seen. Like you said its hard to see something in the bush if it is not moving. Not sure if this behaviour is similar to behavioural research regarding primates - may explain some behaviour.

Re the hairy in the sighting just sitting there, obviously he must have known that the person was coming his/her way. If it is a behaviour associated with territory, why not just show aggression and chase the human away. Maybe close up some of them may not be familiar with our prowess or should I say weakness (not familiar with our abilities - e.g., their territory is not close to human habitation), and therefore fearful (wary) to use physical aggression.

Yes, I wonder what would happen if the academic stuck around. A result being increased aggression or more communicative contact? Also I wonder if the behaviour would be different if there were two or more humans. For example, one on one no problem, one on two or more probably more reason to hide and watch.

Just my thoughts, but it is interesting.
