It is understood the witness was driving slowly to avoid kangaroos about 15-20km north of Roma on the Carnarvon Highway when they noticed what appeared to be a large rock on the side of the road.

But when she approached the area a hairy creature of about 152cm (five foot) tall stood beside a dead kangaroo.

She described it as an auburn haired creature.

The witness submitted a sketch of the creature to the research group, which was shared on Facebook to a skeptical audience.

In the post comments, Katrina Ayers said she had lived in the exact location for a long time and had never seen one.
