DROP BEARS Although the Australian government officially denies the existence of the drop bear, this bloodthirsty cousin of the peaceful koala is the scourge of Australia’s parks and forests. Named for their preferred mode of attack—hurtling down from the shelter of trees onto the heads of unsuspecting creatures—drop bears are responsible for dozens of deaths each year, and that number climbs with each passing season. Although drop bears traditionally feed on rabbits, the decline in the rabbit population has caused them to turn to a more plentiful food source—humans. The minor differences between a drop bear and a koala are discernable only to trained naturalists. A drop bear can even imitate the sleepy demeanor of its genetic cousins as a sort of behavioral camouflage. Because drop bears can so easily be mistaken for koalas, roughly one third of all fatalities from drop bear attacks occur when well-meaning tourists try to pose with the creatures for souvenir photographs. Australia’s recent tourism marketing has spawned an internal government conspiracy to disavow the existence of drop bears. The tourist industry certainly can’t sell visitors on the idea of coming to Australia if it becomes known that vicious wild animals masquerading as cuddly koalas routinely kill humans there. Australian officials are aware that certain chemical repellants are effective in discouraging drop bear attacks, but forestry service rangers are forbidden by law from explaining exactly why they so heartily recommend it. A drop bear prefers to initiate combat by pouncing on an unsuspecting foe. Thereafter, it uses its teeth and claws to tear at its prey. |
