Chewbacca and Orangutan: Descriptors in Yowie Reports

The name "Chewbacca" is frequently used to describe the general appearance of a Yowie. Witnesses often refer to "Orangutan" when describing the color and look of the Yowie’s hair. While there are black and white Yowies reported, the most common hair color described is a reddish brown. Some witnesses have noted longer hair under the arms, further enhancing the resemblance to an orangutan.


Possible Origins: Gigantopithecus and Isolation

The orangutan’s closest relative, Gigantopithecus, was believed to have been extinct for some time. However, evidence shows these creatures once lived in Indonesia, right near Australia. When sea levels rose and severed the land corridor connecting Australia to the rest of the world, any creatures present became landlocked—remaining isolated on the continent.


Yowies in this area are often described as being covered in matted, orangutan-colored hair, with deep-set, large eyes that lack visible eye color—only dark or black eye balls. Their facial skin appears gray. Some speculate that the orange-colored Yowie may represent its own distinct species.


Wollomombi is situated just west of Coffs Harbour and east of Armidale, within the Great Dividing Range. This region is known for frequent reports of Yowie and Big Cat sightings.


When first discovered, this creature’s reaction was one of shock, but, unlike many other cases, this did not escalate into aggression. Likely, it sensed more humans approaching and chose to flee. Notably, Yowie behavior can differ between day and night, and between encountering solo hikers versus groups, highlighting the importance of safety in numbers.
