Oliver was called the ‘Humanzee’ and came to widespread public attention in 1976. The reason was because of his humanlike behaviour, preferring to walk on hindlegs, sit cross legged on a chair, help with chores around the house, etc. Besides that his small bald head and reduced prominence of his jaws yielded a humanoid appearance.

    we know there is a weird big cat in North Queensland Australia, and I kniow because I saw it, in the rainforest up behind Innisfail. It crossed the road as I was driving through the rainforest, it was about the size of a large German Shepherd, and had white legs, and tiger like colours and stripes over the rest of its body. What the hell is a Tiger like animal doing in the Australian Bush????????
