Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024

You might be thinking - "why are you showing me videos of koalas attacking people?" Think again. Watch this and see if you can spot the differences. How deadly is a drop bear attack? And how are people using this food to defend themselves?

It's so irresponsible to pretend they don't exist, it's like telling tourists that they can swim anywhere with a "WARNING - CROCODILES" sign and joking that crocodiles don't exist.
@Russell Coight Shhh!!🤫🤐We have to tell the tourists that they're a "myth"!😟Imagine if word got out internationally about them!😬It would kill* our tourist trade overnight!😖(*no pun intended!🤭) Just recently,I heard about a Pommy tourist who found out that they are real & he mentioned to a tourist guide friend of mine that he was going to tell everybody back home in the UK about them!🥺,so my tourist guide mate gave him a free tour,the day before he was about to fly back home to Pomgolia🇬🇧The "tour area" is a well known db/dropbear🐨👹area,but my mate told me that he took all of the db warning signs down,the night before!!😉👌🏻The tourist had to go behind a tree for "a call of nature"/dunny break🚽,& a few seconds later, my mate said that he heard an ear splitting,spine chilling scream & my mate knew instantly what had happened!😌A db had dropped down onto him,ripped his skull open & sucked his brains out!!🤯🧠It also ate about 95% of his body,but my mate said that the dingoes will have finished off the rest of the body overnight,bones☠🦴& all,so no trace of him will be found!!🤨👌🏻So, that was a potential disaster that was was "taken care of"!🧐We need as many terrorist....sorry! ... tourist dollars that we can get!!🤑🙏🏻 So,for now,...our "little secret" is still under wraps!!🥳🎊Let the tourist bucks keep rolling in!!💰🙃
Australians seriously do have a sick sense of humour, my buddy who went to Australia 5 years ago got seriously injured when he got close to one thinking drop bears were a myth and it was just a Koala, he had to go to the ER as it had cut an artery and also ended up with severe poisoning. He's still suffering to this day of the attack.
@@flyingturtle22 He was lucky to have lived!!🍀🤞🏻...😂🤣
YOU KNOW WHAT! IF YOU WANT TO PROVE IT IS NOT FAKE GO TO ONE OF THEM SIGN LOCATIONS, AND GO INSIDE THAT VERY FOREST! That is only if you want to prove they exist.
@@flyingturtle22jeeezus , that sounds terrifying.
Are nature walks a real thing in Australia?? It seems dangerous to leave the house lol
Just when i thought Australia couldn’t get any crazier, i find out they have evil koalas
Eventually there's gonna be giant crocodiles that can go in saltwater.............oh wait-
They're drop bears🙄 They are very real. They have red eyes very sharp claws and very sharp teeth.
There not real 🙄
@@rayburdett5686they are
Those mfs are also racist
Sometimes i dont even know this is a joke or not
Just google it
Drop bears r real
@@diegoaladdinno Google says there fake but there not they are very real and lots of people get attacked
Chatgpt said its a myth
its real, beware you out there!
0:09 It's literally an evil laugh
I just thought drop bears were koalas that went wrong
Same. Ain't no shame in my game 😂😂😭😭😭
yoo same i thought they were like rouge kowalas
Rouge koalas? Nah, mate, they're the normal brown to grey colors. If they were red, you could see them from a kilometer away!
If a Drop Bear gets a hold of you, you won't think it's a joke then.
This is completely fake. They are mostly deadly silent and they have never officially been spotted in NZ. Strictly aussie.
I have some family that lives in melbourne. 2 brothers were avid hunters for 26 yrs and had won hundreds of awards for hunting and made fantastic careers as guides as well as survivor tutors. They were in amazxing physical condition and both won several weightlifting championships through the years and had recently traveled the world providing survival training for american special forces from every branch. They were very well off financially.
Both of these guys would always get to their spots by having a race to the starting position for the hunt which thety'd always plan to be 3 miles from where the race started. Each one of them could reach these spots in under 15 mimnutes.
Saying these guys were physical specimens was an understatement.
Well we were pulling up to a very secluded spot to do some hunting and maybe fishing. I couldn't wait bc I knew how badass these guys were and this spot was definitely way out from anyone!!!
So we approached the small beach area and they jumped out when we were about 100' from land and they started towing me in.
Right before the bottom of the boat hit the sand something just seemed to appear from the trees. It wasn't much bigger than a koala bear but I barely caught sight of it since it was behind my cousins. I just heard a couple horrifying screams then, less than 5 seconds later, this thing jumped straight up into the tree's which had to be at least 60' high and disappeared with a leg and 2 hands in it's mouth!
It had severed the right hand of each of my cousins and ripped off one of their legs.
My cousins, gasping and grunting from the pain, blood spurting out from seemingly everywhere just said "Don't MOVE" and started using all their strength to push us back out. We were able to get themm on the boat and because their injuries were so severe I was covered in their blood in less than 10 seconds.
I rowed us ass fast as I could while undressing myself so they could start using tounoquits on each other.
After that 5 second attack they voth made full recoveries, now each had a missing hand and one with no leg. It was the most horrific story any of us had ever been a part of. They never told me what that thing was but my uncle, their father, explamined to me EXACTLY what it was. See, he was also missing half his left foot and 4 fingers from his right hand.
It was the Australian Drop Bear!
Drop bear stuns their prey with CUTENESS
Just when I thought Australia couldn't get any scarier I found out they had evil koalas
Main : I'm from Australia.
Drop bear : your accent looks like Canadian 😵💫
I wondered if Australia was really the deadliest continent, but i shall wonder no more. Evil koalas? Nope not going there. Big spiders and other insects that are venomous?big nope.
Lol, you got me. I was about to say "Dang! Ninja bears" 😂
Poor kid who got grab by his large claws and bitten when everyone else is like oh a koala :D
The kid was tormenting the koala, that's why it got pissed!
Drop bear! That's no koala. The whiskers are different. Look closer.
@@davidpawson9047 nice try, but no. I'm no stranger to the tall tales your lot like to perpetrate.
@ecclestonsangel Okay, so if drop bears aren't real, why would other languages have a word for them? Example, no other language has a word for padiddles, which are certifiably real: one sees them all the time! But a word for drop bears exists in dozens, if not hundreds of languages! A few samples:
Danish: faldbjørn
German: Fallbär
Swedish: fallbjörn
Vietnamese: gấu nhảy
Latin: Thylarctos plummetus
Chinese: 掉熊 (diu hung)
@@davidpawson9047 okay. Whatever floats your boat. But urban legends abound in the US, too.
OK so it's a hidden Vegemite ad 😂
Why was jk putting tools in v hair 😂
I should’a taken that vegimite sammich that lady offered me.
I'm so confused, do they exist or not? Lol
They do
OMG I believed you right until the very end... I feel betrayed 😢
Drop bears r real
@@alonaantaran129yeah but aren't they just koalas
@@TinyCakepop nope, but they are real. The difference is that drop bears are carnivores and based off another short, they like human flesh.
You also gotta look at the whiskers. There's a complete different pattern to them. It's like learning to tell the difference between alligators and crocodiles.
TAEHYUNG?!
Is nobody gonna talk anout that laugh at the intro 0:10
This is probably the effect of male Koalas who are high off testosterone during mating season. Even the calmest of animals can get chippy when it's the season of love.
Nope it’s a real animal
Nope it’s a real animal
It’s a real animal. Please do your research first.
😂😂oh you got me!
Drop bears are just regular koalas 😂 they are naturally aggressive when they are not high asl on eucalyptus 😮 they are just in constant withdrawal
Which ironically is not even good for them. Pandas are stupid like that too, they actually don't have strong jaws so eating bamboo is a chore and provides them very little nutrients.
they got me for a second
Real answer: 03:30
People shouldn’t have been laughing when they got attacked, these nasty things LOVE human flesh.
I’m familiar with the name of the cryptid, but I don’t know anything else. Are drop bears carnivorous?
Watch the whole video to the end.
"Are drop bears carnivorous?" - You might as well have asked if Great White Sharks are carnivorous...
They are not real
@@yusufcanbaz8194 It's your funeral...
@@TecraX2 no
2:07 *literally throws up forks and spoons*
I used the Australian voice at the safari .lions and everything else were running away . So I can confirm mateeyyyy that it works
Keep an eye out for the hoop snakes as well....
Oh, jeez, mate! I almost forgot about them! They've been mostly eradicated nearer the coast, but are still pretty common out in the Warrumbungles.
@@davidpawson9047 steeper hills so it's easier for them to get around.
Why did i watch till the end 😭
Adorable 😂
Orrrr its because I don't live there so I didnt know about these things until yesterday. Although i am scared to set foot there so maybe I'll be fine🤷♀️
WTFFF I WAS TERRIFIED ITS DECEMBER
1:09 bro thinks he speed 💀💀
Ah shit you got me 😂😂
Is this where the Kizer Drop Bear knife got its name?
Absolutely! It is actually the smallest knife with which you can drop a drop bear!
APRIL FOOLS JOKE
So obvious that every word was bs, but I kept watching.
Poor kid
❤ 🐨 ❤
They 100% do exist
Bro if u have 2 pitbulls that thing is saying goodnight before it can say goo goo Gaga 💀
It sounds like it’s burping
HOW DARE YOU ….. denying they exist is like denying climate change…. Do so at your peril….
vicious creatures
I still can’t tell if this is a joke. This just gives me the vibe of a killer rabbit in minecraft.
Killer rabbits are real, too. Don't believe? Look up about the time Jimmy Carter was attacked by one as the Secret Service watched helplessly. This was back in 1979.
Aren't drop bears fictional?
It’s an April Fools Day video.
@@jahmd8377 okay while I was watching this I forgot it was April Fools
It's a myth to say that they're fictional. They're very real. Like crocodiles, sharks, snakes etc. Would you believe someone if they pretended they're not real?
@@goodshipkaraboudjan I wouldn't believe them if they said snakes sharks and crocodiles are fictional
They are real
Dont most koala's have chlamydia and you have to be careful when they scratch you?
Yes
Tree ninjas😂 I have North American cougars that actually walk through my yard every once in a while. Pretty sure I wouldn’t fear a koala in any situation.
Why would anyone fear a koala? Drop bears on the other hand....
@@davidpawson9047 😳
"GET TO THA CHOPPA!"
they aren’t real but something like them existed back 15 million years ago
it’s true i was there

Super cutes Į love cutes, Australia 😘😘😘😘😘
Drop bears are racist! ❤
Wth
Michael afton vomiting spoons
if they go to WA im moving to Asia
This isent a myth and i dont get why it keeps being posed as one.

No. No you didn't
😂😂😂 glad ppl still know the difference between animals' defence mechanisms vs human killer
There is no April Fools about it! Drop bears are incredibly sneaky beasts, dangerous as all get out! They'll kill you if you give them half a chance. Maybe you just shouldn't go to Australia.
DROPB
So those are the new measures for immigrant policy?
THEY EAT HUMAN FLESH EVERYBODY!!! NOT A MYTH!!
just kick it- its small
Jsem celej hotovej…. Tohle funguje stejně jako ABBA….😂😂😂😂😂
Pořad dolu….
Pořad níž……🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pfft.. just put vegemite in your hair and you'll be fine. I had an Aussie girlfriend, I oughta know. =)
A solid kick would do the trick
"Only in Ohio"
Australia:
In Belgium, we have the Plutomium. This was constructed as part of the Brussels World's Fair in 1958, known as Expo 58.
Belgium did not have freedom of panorama until 2016, which imposed restrictions on the commercial use of photos of the monument. The heirs actively protected the copyright on images of the Plutomium.
Things that have been said in the video is over exaggerated. However everything shown in the video is 100 percent real. Drop bear and Koalas are same. There's no difference between them. People pretend that drop bear and koalas are different and drop bear are very aggressive killer but Koalas are friendly as fuck but that's absolutely false. Koalas are wild animals and every single wild animal is dangerous. With that being said, the creature that's in the video is Koala also called drop bear by some hypocrite morons and yeah Koalas are dangerous, aggressive and can seriously hurt you exactly like in the video. Many idiots pretend and portray Koalas as a living teddy bear but make no mistake that they are wild and precautions are to be made. So next time when you see a Koala or come across one, don't run towards them to pat and pick them up like an idiot, make a distance and don't bother the animal.
April Fool, but a nice one. Hope Humanity is not as stupid as it normally is to believe...
No, they're stupider. But what has that to do with drop bears?
There not real
Stop trying to spread misinformation drop bears are 100% real, my mate who lived down the road nearly got taken out by one them luckily he managed to survive with only a couple scars and a lost eye
V from bts 😭
Too bad they gave up their gun rights . They could’ve defended themselves from drop bears and the Chinese……
Click bait at its best. This actually is a myth and you are irresponsibly perpetuating it!
drop bear to koala is like blacks to humans
