You can assume Yeren do this because animals of the same description in North America make very loud sounds occasionally. The sound behavior of bigfoots was noticed by researchers in North America decades ago, and then supported by an accumulating amount of witness testimony, and eventually recordings. By different reasoning, you can assume that Yeren vocalize because they must vocalize (or make loud sounds in other ways). Their family units must divide at times, and then must relocate each other later on in different places. If they separate even a short distance in a dense forest they will not be able to see each other, so they must make loud sounds to find each other periodically.

"They're very clever," said Yuan, a retired paleoanthropologist and member of the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yuan describes Bigfoot as more than 6 1/2 feet tall, with reddish brown hair, long limbs and a rather nasty case of body odor. In 1976-77, the government sponsored a Bigfoot expedition to Shennongjia consisting of 100 people, including army personnel.
