A yowie expert has declared ‘everything looks right’ in confronting footage of a wild boar that appears to have been sliced ‘clean 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 genuine.
In the one-minute clip, a group of workers discovers several ‘footprints’ beside the rear end of a boar before spotting the head and torso several metres away.
‘F***ing ripped clean in half,’ the man behind the camera says.
‘Then this next to it. It’s gone up the hill.’
The footage is believed to have been filmed in North Queensland several years ago.

‘In my opinion, everything looks right,’ Mr Harrison told news.com.au.
‘I also receive reports of animals ripped in half all the time.’
In the footage, the camera pans to more ‘footprints’ disappearing into nearby bushland as another worker suggests they bury the severed pig.

Mr Harrison has dedicated his life to yowies ever since he claims to have personally encountered one of the ape-like creatures in South East Queensland.
He said the footage was captured 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 grisly scene was one of reasons why he thought the scene was genuine.

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