We don’t know where the addition of Bears came from, but
we can assure you that these creatures have no relationship to bears. They are
in fact a marsupial, aka a warm blooded mammal that almost always carries its
young in a pouch.
These big nosed, fuzzy eared, sleepy looking tree huggers,
are less cute than they appear. Their razor sharp claws could easily remove
flesh from your body, if you were unlucky enough to have angered one of the
creatures.
Not only that, but these tree dwellers constantly feed on the native
tree of Australia, the eucalypt, which happens to be highly poisonous. These
iron cast stomachs process the leaves, leaving them in a state not unlike that
of who someone who was slightly high.
For those of you who aren’t quite convinced yet that these
Australian “bears” are tougher than the average fuzzy wuzzy, you need to hear
their growl. We are not kidding when we say that they make the
weirdest/freakiest noise. There isn’t really a comparison that we can make, but
if you think of a cute fuzzy cat, growling like a feral dog, you might get an
idea of what we are talking about.
The chances of you getting attacked by a Koala is slim to
none, but like most things in Australia, just because it’s cute, doesn’t mean
it isn’t tough, and you should approach with caution.
