A yowie expert has declared that ‘everything looks good’ in confrontational footage of a wild boar appearing to be ‘cut in half’ by one of the folkloric creatures.
Dean Harrison, who has spent 25 years researching yowies, was first sent the resurfaced video two years ago and believes the footage is real.
In the one-minute video, a group of workers discover several ‘footprints’ next to the back of a boar before spotting the head and torso several meters away.
“F***ing torn in half,” says the man behind the camera.
‘Then this next to it. It’s gone up the hill.”
The footage is believed to have been shot in North Queensland several years ago.

Dean Harrison, who has spent 25 years researching the ape-like creatures, was first sent the resurfaced video of Yowie’s ‘footprints’ two years ago and believes they are real.
“In my opinion, everything looks good,” Mr. Harrison said news.com.au.
‘I also constantly receive reports of animals torn in half.’
In the footage, the camera pans to more ‘footprints’ disappearing into nearby bushland, while another worker suggests burying the severed pig.

Mr Harrison has dedicated his life to the yowies since claiming to have personally encountered one of the ape-like creatures in south-east Queensland.
He said the footage was taken by men working on the Adani Rail Project between the Queensland towns of Glenden and Claremont.
The yowie enthusiast said the workers’ reactions to the gruesome scene was one of the reasons he believed the scene was real.

Mr Harrison said the group stumbled upon the scene after following drag marks from the access road for hundreds of metres.
He claims the witnesses told him that indigenous workers on the railway project had heard strange noises and felt they were being watched on site.
His website, Australian Yowie Research, has received more than 1,000 reports of yowies, described as Australia’s version of Bigfoot.
The majority of sightings occurred in New South Wales and Queensland.
