Drop bears do exist! We finally have proof that the most legendary animal on the planet exists

Fearless koala chases South Australian woman on quad bike - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

For many years Australians have told visitors of the dangers of drop bears but they haven't believed us, now we should enter this fellow in the Olympics

What the heck are you talking about? I see a cute little stuffed animal trying to drive a bike. Sorry I'm not current with AU jokes.

For the uninitiated

Drop Bear - Australian Museum

There are many legendary animals in Australia some resemble the Yeti or Sasquash of other continents, others a leopard or panther but the most enduring and never seen until now is the drop bear and surprise, surprise, he was found in south australia just as the article predicts. The Koala is not a cuddly teddy bear but a powerful animal capable of inflicting nasty wounds if angered. All wild Koalas should be avoided

Why would he pursue a quad bike, well I suspect the bike was moving too fast and not to be done out of lunch... or perhaps the engine just annoyed him. Did you watch the video or just look at the picture? Then again he might have been out for his morning ride and fell off!

We have stupid Americans here too who think that because an animal looks cute and cuddly that they are domesticated . There are cases every year of injury and deaths due to people getting too close to animals trying to feed them or to take selfies with them.
