It infuriates me that all the media attention that drop bears receive takes away from the real threat: hoop snakes.

Drop bears always let out a low guttural growl before descending, whilst hoop snakes remain completely silent.

Dropbears are fucking vicious man. Go to Scotland instead, the haggis is a peaceful little creature.

Dropbears are a serious problem here dude! When I first arrived, I was told to watch out for them. I thought Australians were full of shit so I promptly ignored them.... BAD IDEA.

I now have only a 3rd of my right leg left, was castrated, and can only talk by typing (my tongue, vocal cords, and teeth were ripped out).

Seriously man, if drop bears ever get out of Australia, the world is fucked.

What an awful reminder, I lost my best friend to a drop bear 8 years ago.

As this doesn't explain how drop bears came about, I shall.

Drop bears are just feral Koalas, that have turned feral due to deforestation. You see, eucalyptus(the primary source of food for koalas) contains a natural sedative that keeps the koala in check. Because of deforestation, there is a lack of eucalyptus trees to properly keep the koala population under control, which caused them to go look for other sources of food. Due to there being no sedative in their system any more, they turned feral and started eating meat and getting very agressive, which is what turned them into what is now known as a drop bear. However, they are not really a bear, as a koala is not a bear but a marsupial.

You Americans think your Grizzly bears are dangerous? Drops bears LIVE IN THE MOTHERFUCKING TREES HERE! They drop on you when you least expect it and they will eat your fucking face off. Drop bears are also rapists.

Not sure if Australian Redditors are really good at making up fake shit in the comments... Or I should never move to Australia.

I'm about to go to Australia for a year. I'm glad I have been running track and cross country for the past 6 years so that I will have some kind of speed ready to avoid these demons. Thank you for making me aware

I remember bear drops from playing World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade.

You would get 1 or more feral druids to fly above some unsuspecting poor fella, and then drop out of flight form, into bear form, and charge him. Thus removing fall damage, and raping the target.

Yeah guys came here to say all the things you heard about drop bears are real. Every year we hear sad stories about people getting injured or worse from these dangerous predators. If you're coming to visit Australia you have to be careful about these things. We get taught about them in school but many visitors don't know about them.

Wouldn't you see the ground if you looked up, Aussies?

Another little known fact about drop bears is that the best why to eradicate them from the area is with a lighter and a torch (flashlight for you Americans). If your man enough you can go into the local eucalyptus grove at night but only in summer (I wouldn't suggest this unless you have protective gear and experience) and try to shine the torch into the faces of drop bears which causes them to freeze and piss themselves. Quickly before the little bugger comes out of the trance, light the stream of piss, which is highly flammible due to the leaves they eat fermenting in their gut turning into alcohol when they piss it out. This will cause the bastard to explode into a fiery ball. However the down side is this is how most bush fires start.

Young female backpackers take note; Always ensure you find some locals to set up camp with rather than risking a drop bear attack while camping in Aus. They usually attack during the night, also they usually only attack young females for some reason.

"This here's a dropbear. It's one of the deadliest bears on the planet. If you don't react instantly, this li'l buggar'll rip your nose clean off, and then begin eating away the rest of your face. I'mma touch it."

As an Australian, I can say that while drop bears can be fucking terrifying... for tourists.

It's actually these two things that fair-dinkum Ozzies will give the widest berth.

It's funny because non-Australians think it's a joke, the tourism industry spends millions every year hiding this shit and making those look like fatal crocodile attacks, apparently that's better for business.
