Bunyips are reclusive aquatic mammals, that live in still bodies of water. Although they prefer shaded billabongs or ox bow lakes they have been known to inhabit anything from koi ponds to large lakes at times. They are rarely seen before they want to be, and with their thick tangled fur are often mistaken for waterweeds when they are. Preying mostly on fish and turtles, they relish the opportunity to ambush anything that approaches their waterhole. Many calls have been attributed to Bunyips, including yowls, grunts, hooting and gurgling, though they have yet to be confirmed by a reputable source. Bunyips can sometimes be encountered searching for a new home during or just after heavy rain or thunderstorms. |
