Reports of large numbers of dropbears around Canberra's outskirts

OMG they are like something from a horror film
I wouldn't mess with one

Apologies thats just me on a bad day. 

A furry squid?

Now I am scared indeed.

 :lol:

I can't help but imagine the dropbear singing opera every time I look at it's expression.
It's highly inappropriate given their nature but it keeps popping into my head 

Btw , is that a real image of an attack or is it completely faked?

Real of course.

And it is only because of their size that they haven't been able to spread to the rest of the world.

A venomous spider can hide between some fruits, a dropbear just can't.

Yikes 

Those things do look like they are from a horror movie.

That's what happens when Koalas get emo.

Poor bastard was probably pissed and there is no jars of vegiemite in the picture. He did not have any jacket or anything to offer neck protection either. Just fucked up all round poor bloke.

I dunno whether the pic is real but it looks like others I have seen. Serves as a pretty good reminder. You don't get any warning and if you feel the impact you have to act quick to get the bastard off.

I guess it is the same as the drop and roll in a fire. People can just freeze up despite the fact that acting quickly and sensibly could save them. Pretty sad.

They try and eat people alive?

Call me a cynic but I don't think they're doing it right.

No they are small and they are carnivorous but they will not consume a person. They will drop on a person bite into the next and the person will if unlucky die usually from the dropbear hitting an artery and quickly bleeding out. it will chew on the neck and cheeks and nose, ears and such but will not devour a human whole. They are not that big. They do more damage to smaller animals but smaller animals ironically are more alert and harder targets and often fight off dropbears better.

I was under a lot of trees today. Glad that I know now not to be so careless here in Australia.

I meant eat them alive in a zombie ish way , bite on them not devour them whole like a anaconda.

Oh right. Sorry. In that case then. Yes.

By the time you are dropped to the floor you will likely have bled out (Jugular and such arteries in the neck area once ruptured bleed you out quickly) and not be alive anyway when then chew on you.

Yeah they are becoming an issue here so next few months or so will be a bit toey. Couple of weeks we will start getting news reports coming in sporadically abouut dropbear attacks in and around. Just keep yourself safe dude.

Ahhhhhh, all those poor goats.


But they found a way to defend themselves:

Let's not forget the menace posed by Jackalopes.

 Do you often need to defend yourself against those in California?

We've got the Bullebak. He is so awful that there are not even reliable pictures of him. Very scary. It ate a few of my great aunts, when they were really little.
