Nah, drop bears are well known and not cryptids. Sound frightening, but no problem at all really. Just smear yourself all over with vegemite. I have never known anyone who has done this, to have any trouble with drop bears.

(they can make some pretty freaky noises when they want to!)

I can understand your scepticism, I am a sceptic also.

All I can say is that, at one time, I found myself in the Aussie bush staring in disbelief at what looked like a human size orang-utan (with certain human traits). I don't necessarily expect anyone to believe (I wouldn't), or say I have any genuine reason why this would occur, only that it did happen. I can't help but note the area this happened, as being known for such occurrences. I know logically how ridiculous it sounds and the unlikelihood of such a thing, but would be dishonest of me to claim otherwise. Fascinating stuff.
