I’m convinced that you need to be built different to survive in Australia. And I’m not willing to find out the hard way if I’m built Australia different.
Even as a little kid that pissed me off! Too lazy to even bother finding a picture of a Tasmanian Devil, so they just made something up that bears absolutely zero resemblance to the actual thing! They could have found out what colour they were at least!
We also go to great lengths to stop any stories getting out involving the Arachnid springloadiss, or otherwise known as the spring loaded face sucker. It’s like in Aliens but without the tail.😂
Well on top of all the things we have here in Florida, we have wild monkeys, especially the Herpes monkeys. But the wildest and most unstable creature of all is Floridaman. Man I love living here
Don't forget the "Swamp Women." I had a few encounters with them back when I lived in Punta Gorda. Straight out of the swamp they come --- usually when you're drunk and unable to protect yourself. You don't even know they're there 'til their snoring wakes you up and you think you smell a Skunk Ape.
Hi Dadbod, all I can say is the rebel side of my Gen Xer soul is saying "Cool! I want to see a drop bear! But, I want to see him just drop to the ground and not on my head. I have always had a fascination for Australia. Back in the mid to late 70's there were lots of Aussie movies coming out and in my Jr. High School if you were a girl, you were definitely not "in" unless you wore a tiny koala with little arms that clipped onto your coat. It was the must have accessory of 1977! In fact I still have mine. I am very sentimental. :). I would love to go there one day. I would especially love to see the Great Barrier Reef. Although I am the worlds worst swimmer, its been a dream of mine to go snorkeling or diving there. But at this late stage of life it will remain just a much cherished and happy day dream. I don't mind because sometimes dreams are better than the reality, plus my chances of getting mauled by a drop bear become non existent. :).
I've known about drop bears for years. I try to warn peopke but they think I'm being stupid. Just wait till they're blasted with a Fun Shine Death Ray from the sky as their heads are played like bongo drums
The airplane story hit home. We have (had?) a big plane parts plant near enough and the stories... However, that also applies to something as simple as pickle production. You'd think its simple, cucumbers, brine, a little of this or that but after hearing the stories from a friend who worked at a small plant, I couldn't eat commercial pickles since, that was about 40 years ago. Luckily my mother taught me how to make my own. Sometimes knowledge is *not* power!
It’s not that Dropbears attack you, it’s just that occasionally they would be on a branch that falls off the tree and in their rush to return to the safety of elevation they will climb over you if you’re in the way. Those claws are strong and sharp but there is no malice in their actions. We accept it as part of living in Australia.
😮 Seriously?! I was in Perth, WA (Western Australia, not Washington State, in case anyone was wondering) for a year and never heard of them. 🤔 Myth? Are people just pulling you leg? 🤔 Well, if you are going to Oz have a wonderful time. I absolutely loved it down there. I cried when I had to come back 😭Wish I could have stayed ☺️ Such lovely people.
It's NOT a joke. Many people just visiting Australia have nightmares about them. They should just be glad there's no Freddy Kruger Bears still making the rounds. They're supposed to be extinct, but I'm sure some have survived somewhere in the outback.@@Eggcornbean
Lol, if that bothers you, check out ground hogs. Like wtf do they climb trees? Didn't believe it til I saw it with my own eyes, and they're quite angry little buggers too.
I now live in Pa. and this really happened to me. I was driving home from Fort Indiantown Gap on a back road and one fell out of a tree bounced on my roof and down the windshield off the front of the car. I stopped to see "for sure" that it was a groundhog and the damned thing shook himself out of being stunned, started growling and limped off the side of the road into the woods. I'd have given anything to have owned a dash cam back then.
Whatever you do, don't bring up "The Great Emu War". With eveything else the Aussies have to deal with thats trying to kill them, they don't need us reminding them of their greatest defeat!
We try to keep quiet about them as not to scare to many tourists off. Sadly 😞 attacks are all to frequent now as the population of these fiendish critters has exploded due to climate change. 😎 We loose a few tourists every year. However it makes walking in the bush much safer for us because we just follow behind the German and Japanese tourists, let them take point and get attacked first 🤗🇦🇺 so it’s not all bad news .
spent 9 months driving all over AU and never saw anything like that anywhere. had to go to the zoo to find a live kangaroo as well. the worst things i saw were box jellyfish in darwin
@@markhill3858 well there was a dead one on the side of the highway but never saw live ones in the wild or anything. And it's not like I drove every inland road there I stuck to the coastal highways mostly until adalaide.
Yeah,they're nasty little buggers, they hate dogs especially. They don't so much beat on their target,they use their claws and teeth to try and eat your brains or anything else internal that they can get to. The drop stuns the target, and then the biting starts. When I worked for the council a while back we used to 'relocate' them with extreme prejudice whenever we found one trying to hide amongst the regular koalas. My offsider on the work ute had .an 870 with 00 shells specifically for the drop bears while I was moving the regular koalas into the cage on the ute.
We have a new one to add to Australia’s animal adventures, a Guinea pig saved from a python by 12 year old girl as shown on Sunrise this morning, even made the New York Post ua-cam.com/video/C0Smq9gJgYs/v-deo.htmlsi=x6Y0Kv1mOIN2CA9Z trending now

Drop Bears DO NOT EXIST. The drop bear is a native Australian marsupial related to the koala that is ferocious, savage, cunning, and…. entirely fabricated. The urban legend surrounding this predatory creature centres on the idea that this territorial animal 'drops' from the treetops on unsuspecting bushwalkers and tourists. However, sometimes things / animals might drop on top of you including Bird poo. lol Magpie breeding season can cause some discomfort by swooping at your head but I never experienced it.
Actually I was brutally killed by a Drop Bear just last week so I have decided to pack up my belongings and move to Scotland because the only problem in Scotland is Scott’s finger biscuit’s 🤷🏻♂️
like dead in ohio while was alive in maryland,... and there is the problem .... 'cause i guess at this point it would be like knockin out the cornerstone of an inverted pyramid... and the ssdi and channel go to the real1 that .... .... ....sloooooo?A"?
It’s not even real but so funny Australian’s making videos saying it’s real lol. It’s just to scare foreigners, there’s no such thing as a “drop bear” you guys.
We put vegimite on top of our hats, it's a repellent for them. You also have to watch out for Hoop snakes.

Oi, look down too... take a risk on the beaches of st kilda with budgie smugglers. faerie penguins come out of the woodworks to attack it.

Ah yes, the Australian Drop Bear. Best described by Sir Terry Pratchett in his book The Last Continent.
One of his best books! Hilarious! GNU Sir Terry Pratchett.
That’s why we where a wide brimmed hat mate. It confuses the shit out of ‘em.
They also have Swooping Season.
I really want to see you react to the great emu war.
If you put a little Vegemite behind your ear they are much less likely to attack.
Koalas are Darwins next victim after pandas.
I’m convinced that you need to be built different to survive in Australia. And I’m not willing to find out the hard way if I’m built Australia different.

😂😂 And the Tasmanian Devil does a spin and makes whirl noise 😂😂😂

Even as a little kid that pissed me off! Too lazy to even bother finding a picture of a Tasmanian Devil, so they just made something up that bears absolutely zero resemblance to the actual thing! They could have found out what colour they were at least!
I've finally figured out where the "island" is that the kid sails to in the story "Where the Wild Things Are."
They are as real as our jackalopes.

im not sure if this is true but I also heard they love human flesh
I'm glad the bears in America don't dop out of trees ,a 500lbs black bear might hurt. 😂😂😂
I'm an American and I actually had to be hospitalized in Australia and nearly died after trying to take a photo of a drop bear.
That's why there are so few pictures of them. And the only known pics. are all blurry and out of focus. Damned clever, those Drop Bears.
You've been sniped! I was waiting to get Rick Rolled on this one. 🤣
I nearly fell for this
Just wait till he discovers Gimpy Bush
I do believe Hell is also referred to as "down under."
