duncdonut73: We have the Stirling City Council to thank for pushing these little endangered creatures out of their home environments. A sad day indeed...

Geocache Description:


The Drop Bear

 

Ursus cado venustus is a rarely seen relative of the common Drop Bear (Ursus cado profanus). It is an Australian marsupial of the family ursidae. Unlike its relations which are commonly mistaken for the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Ursus cado venustus has an even more friendly, sickly cute appearance - but beware this deceit; it is a cruel lure for its unwary prey.

Many are already aware of the dangers posed by the Drop Bear, but few live to tell their tale of a savage Drop Bear encounter.

There is a prize for FTF which will be useful ... if you survive.

 

TOURIST WARNING


Before visiting this cache it is highly recommended that tourists to Australia research important information about the dangers of Drop Bears, and are well prepared for the prevention of attacks. The application of vegemite behind your ears and walking with a screw driver held above your head alone will not help you - a combination of techniques is required for these cunning creatures.
