Summary
As a tall young man (6'7", size 17 shoes) hiding behind a tree stump in the Australian bush, the narrator witnesses three massive, muscular Yowies—hulking, ape-like creatures—ambush and brutally dismember an old gray kangaroo, ripping off its legs as trophies. The two smaller Yowies fight savagely over the limbs, their blows shaking the ground, until a towering elder Yowie intervenes with a thunderous roar that terrifies the narrator. It bashes their heads together and kicks one into a vast billabong teeming with 25-foot saltwater crocodiles. The submerged Yowie grapples a massive croc, punching it and enduring bites to its leg and hand, before its kin join the fray. They smash the reptile's skull, snap its jaws, and tear it apart—ripping off tail, legs, and guts to devour on the spot. Drawn by the blood, more crocs swarm, prompting the Yowies to haul away chunks of meat and vanish into the bush with earthquake-like thuds. In shock, the narrator emerges to compare a Yowie footprint to his own—far larger and wider—and notes the surviving crocs feasting on the remains. He's encountered Yowies elsewhere, viewing them as magical beings. Local Aboriginals share lore: Yowies are ancient earth guardians and "brothers" to Indigenous people, capable of deep familial love, though "tribal" ones are cannibalistic. They recount a tragic origin for the Yowies' hatred of reptiles: centuries ago, a playful young Yowie lost its leg to a giant lizard in a billabong, sparking a deadly clash that killed two adults—including a mother mummified embracing her child—igniting an eternal feud with crocs and lizards.

| 0:53.7 | That's an old gray kangaroo. When I saw them come out, I hid behind an old tree |
| 0:57.3 | stump. They grabbed his back legs and ripped them right off and then held them up like |
| 1:02.6 | trophies. Another Yowie, much bigger and older looking than the others, came out of the bush. |
| 1:10.2 | I was six feet, seven inches tall back then then and even the smallest of the three made me look small. |

| 1:59.7 | enough to hold some big old saltwater crocks, some as long as 20 feet that I had seen myself. |
| 2:07.8 | The yaoi hit the water right by an old salty crock, and he grabbed the crock by the tail and picked it up right out of the water, and he punched it in the head. |
