Drop Bears, like their smaller cousins the koalas, are not actually bears - but sadly the bear label has stuck. They were discovered when the first settlers entered our large forests; or, it would be more correct to say Drop Bears discovered the settlers. When they drove their wagons under the huge trees, Drop Bears leaped from the top branches and crushed their wagons. No vehicle could enter our great forests without being turned into a million splinters. Today, not much is known about the Drop Bear, but if you ask an old soldier, they will tell you all about them. When World War One started, Australia feared it would be invaded and thus worked out a cunning defence plan involving the Drop Bears. Because no one could get by them, they made the Drop Bears Australia’s secret weapon and trained them to squash invading tanks and vehicles - this training continues today. From here
