Drop Bear??

Cute koala bear

What?

I accidentally come to this image when I google search something. I was shocked. Eww...bad animal. At first, I thought it is a koala bear. I didnt know that koala can be this fierce. Shudder.. Then, I learnt of "dropbears". I was feeling curious about this creature, so I did a little findings about this creature.

According to wikipedia, a drop bear is a FICTITIOUS Australian marsupial, which means, it is not real. However, from other sources that I read up, it's not just like that. Drop bear can be likened to fairy, dragon, Philadephia sea monster, alien..urm..basically, no one can prove whether they really exist or not.

Their mode of attack is as simple as it is deadly. When a suitable prey is directly under the branch they have been waiting on, they will literally drop on the animal, from a height of up to eight metres, and set about ripping its head off. They will then take the carcase, or bits of it, back up in to the tree, where they will hold on to it for several days until the meat has rotted a bit, before eating it (that was gross)...

Hmm....I don't like this drop bear. I read this from somewhere: "If you asked whether drop bear is real, that's like asking if GOD is real". So, it depends on you whether you want to believe if it really exist or not. Personally, I still think I should take precaution when I visit Australian bush somedays :D, cause I'm a coward~

Tips to avoid the threat of drop bear:
1) Avoid drop bear prone areas
2) Try to avoid speaking languages apart from English
3) Use the Aussie Lingo (Australian slang)
4) Smear vegemite on your armpits (I lol-ed at this)
5) Hop on one leg (LOL again)
6) Keep moving
7) Wear a broad brimmed head
8) Sing a song
9) Don't declare liberal political views out (huh?)
10) Don't act scared

The tips are taken from here. That's all I wanted to say about this deadly creature.
