an Australian mysteryInterest in undiscovered human like creatures continues to be widespread. Everyone has heard of the Yeti, and its North American 'cousin' Bigfoot, but since the last century there have been reports of the existence in Australia of another, less famous creature-the Yahoo. In 1912, a Sydney newspaper printed an account by Charles Harper of a strange, large animal he observed by the light of his campfire: "Its body, legs, and arms were covered with long, brownish-red hair, but what struck me as most extraordinary was its shape, which was human in some ways, yet at the same time very different. The body was enormous, indicating great strength. The arms were extremely long and very muscular.'Harper continued: 'All this observation lasted a few minutes while the creature stood there, as if frightened by the firelight. After a few growls, and beating his breast, heset off , the first few meters upright, then on all four limbs through the low bushes. Nothing would persuade my companions to continue the trip a fact at which I must admit I was rather pleased.'What could Harper and his companions possibly have seen? Such a creature was mentioned in south-eastern Australia in the 1980s, but no specimen was ever obtained for scientific purposes , and all we are left with today is an historical puzzle.
