I personally think that it might be one. My reasons being similar to Shazz, it reminds me of doco about chimps I watched. One of the males knocked around with his hair bristled up all the time to make himself look bigger. I think that's what could be happening in the first picture. In the second picture the Mumari has decided to beat feet out of there no longer bristling that might explain difference between the sizes.
Being ex army myself I don't see the ghillie suit explanation. I wouldn't be so different between the images. I reckon it's legit.

Hi Slats, If I put a silly number on my belief that these pics are authentic it would be about 95% dead cert.
The 5% is always the possibility it’s fake and a disclaimer if anyone scoffs.
I like to think that I’m not easily sucked in by things and usually hover with a safe 50/50.

A few on here quickly dismissed it as a ghillie suit. I know jack about ghillie suits; do they go right down
to the ankle like trouser legs ? I imagine their colour and texture would relate to different military dress ?
This could explain the thick appearance of the lower legs, like this short individual is wearing overalls.
But there is the blur and the shadow which enlarges things.

As I mentioned in a previous post, along with some other enthusiastic posters, the Katrina Tucker sketch
is ‘compelling’ when compared to the roadside pic. What are the odds that her sketch is so similar.

Maybe the Fitzroy Crossing hoaxers used her sketch as a guide.
Especially the stoop and the pointed head. They had to bribe their 9 year old younger brother
to wear the suit. Because anyone bigger, the suit would only partially cover them.

As for WA Slats and your 'belated two cents', it's unfortunate that your fellow aussies on the east coast,
sometimes are not conscious of western Australia. Always like to hear what you have to say.
I hope there are some more reports from your state.
The only news we get over here is about mining magnates and shark attacks.

That puts a different perspective on it. Would be easy to mistake the suit for a hairy at night or a distance. Most pics are blurry too so lack of definition could cause confusion.

Cannot be sure but it looks to be around 4-5ft tall, appearing stunned like dear in headlights.
