Just wondering if anyone has ever heard reports of the Junjuddis (Small Hairy Apes think "The Pit" old b grade 80's movie, and yes sad I know it... ) in Victoria? Am down in Victoria and wanting to do some shots for a promo and wondering if anyone knows any reports from that region at all? All I know of them is from up north. So any info or even a hint of info would be good.

Full Version: Junjuddis in the southern states of Australia
I've only heard of ones up north as well. one guy was leaving balls etc in secluded areas and would check to see if they were taken.
Its possible, theyd have to e VERY rare though.
Hm... where are you Pshyce?
Hm... where are you Pshyce?
What is that thing? Cousin IT?
Oh
Indeed.
Physce....?
Physce....?
Do I hear my name?
`ello, miss me did ya skeptic
This is one of the more possible legends I'd have to say. Some small people reports are now verified - Homo Florensis. Stuff the debate, I say new Hominidae species LOL.
The tales of Ebu Gobo being wiped out - I am sure there is a legend of a tribe of around 200 being wiped out on North Queensland by British settlers. Did they kill them all? The Pendek, is another account that comes to mind. The Island of Florensis is near Australia and the indigenous did have trade with Northern Islands where Florensis existed. The British settlers successfully wiped out the Tasmanian Indigenous. Did they wipe out two species? Did some Ebu Gobo hide in the top end? Interesting that reports of Ebu Gobo seem to match Florensis pretty closely. I'd say yeah, quite possible and loose support from the fossil record to back the hypothesis. If you wanted to hide out in Oz, the top end would be a good place to do it. All the reports seem to be in the right place too - the general vicinity of Florensis, where we know diminutive distant relatives resided. Not sure about the Glasshouse Mountain claim though, bit close to home. Top end gets pretty darn hot and humid too, it would be good to see a study done to see if such a body structure could survive in the conditions. All that hair might make it somehwat hot, and one would think fatal in the top end? It was for Meganthropus' body structure which could not loose enough heat. Maybe Hairy is supposed to reference a large shock of head hair? That would make more sense to me considering the terrain and supposed physiology of the reported creature. If they do exist, I don't think they would look anything like the diminutive cousin it represntative shown above.
That physiology would be more suitable to Victoria though.
Shocked ain't ya

camals are hairy and they live in deserts
i say hairy people could survive
although note im from Canada where its bloomin cold
so i may be wrong

After the Ice age, Meganthropus found he could only lose about 75% of the body heat he needed to to survive the new climate.
Didn't work out so well for him, it's not only hair, but body mass vs surface area. A scale mode was buillt to ascertain this. Hair can insulate aginst heat or cold.
And the fellow in that piccy has one heck of a coat - if living in the bush, shouldn't it be all dreads? It looks too long and thick for a creature that resides in high temps and humidity
