Something predatory and big is terrorizing the Sunshine Coast in the Australian state of Queensland. It deftly penetrates closed sheds, opens open-air cages, kills and eats birds, leaving practically no traces. And it is so large that it damaged the gate when trying to enter the guinea fowl pen.
According to the Sunshine Coast Daily, local resident Kay McCullock wrote on her Facebook page that an unknown animal entered a nearby site at night. It damaged the closed entrance gates and tore apart the guinea fowl cages and killed three birds. At the same time, the bodies of the birds were not, it devoured them entirely on the spot or carried them away, only a few feathers remained in the cages.
There were also very large prints of an unidentified animal on the ground. “People think it was a panther or a yovee,” the woman suggested.
The word "yovi" in Australia is called the local analogue of Bigfoot. Aborigines tell many stories about this creature. They are believed to be common mainly in the eastern states.
Some cryptozoologists are sure that we are talking about an unknown species of monkeys or even one of the species of ancient man that has survived to this day.
One way or another, after the attack on the guinea fowl, Kei MaKalok once again had a chance to meet this creature. She heard an unidentified noise last Saturday night. She left the house with a knife in her hand and started screaming to scare the intruder, and then she heard "a loud growl and something like a snort."
“Then it fell silent and after that I heard a sound, as if it had jumped over our fence (more than a meter in height) and ran along the road to the west. It ran away so quickly that when I got to the gate, there was no one to be seen."
Officially, it is assumed that the attacks were carried out by dingo dogs, as people saw a flock of dingoes in the area. "Panthers", that is, large black creatures that look like cats, are not officially found in Australia, and dingoes are usually not noticed for such affairs. However, in 2016, one local farmer said that dingos have become more daring and aggressive, and when they walk in a flock of 4-6 individuals, even a person feels in danger next to them.

Was it really a dingo or something else? Can dingos break the fence and turn the bird cages? There are no answers yet.
