Don’t Believe Stories Of The Drop Bear

Source: https://ganggangtours.com

As the legend goes, drop bears are koala-like creatures that live in trees and drop down on unsuspecting people. They are reputed to be vicious flesh-eaters, and it seems almost everyone has a relative or friend who has encountered the fierce animal. However, it is all part of a gag, the Aussie sense of humor. Even the Australian Museum is in on it, helping to perpetuate the myth of the legendary predator. Tourists have enough to be afraid of, they don’t need to watch out for something that really does not exist. While there is a debate whether the creature is real by some locals, it seems quite weird that the prescribed repellant for attacks is to spread vegemite behind your ears. Well, you be the judge. Just don’t let it ruin your visit.
