bra Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) What is a drop bear? In any there are bears in Australia. The koala (which is a vegetarian) is not a bear it's a marsupial. Koala comes from an aboriginal word meaning "no drink". The koala gets nearly all its moisture and food from eucalyptus leaves.

PETERTHEEATER Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 ,,,,,,,,,Teerayuth said that efforts to warn villagers about the danger of going in that area would be stepped up......... Yep, it's a laborious task planning where to procure and erect signs and fencing but we will stick with it until..... what; the soaps started?

Koala comes from an aboriginal word meaning "no drink". The koala gets nearly all its moisture and food from eucalyptus leaves. What is a drop bear? It's probably easier to say what a drop bear is not. A drop bear is not cute. A drop bear is not cuddly. A drop bear is not to be trusted. A drop bear is not to be approached, and definitely not to be touched, unless of course you don't need two arms I suppose. Drop bears may look cute, but it's just a part of their cunning plan. And drop bears can smell your fear... especially if you've just shit yourself! To a drop bear you're just a handy snack. Piccy below of the first recorded sighting of a drop bear in the wild:- Don't be afraid bra, be aware. Look up and live mate!

Carnivore, prefers tourists to locals. Tree dweller, who's main diet is young female backpackers or campers. Can be subdued, somewhat, if offered copious amounts of Bundy. bra, when you have digested the above, you might inquire about Bundy. Cheers..... Mal.

Amusements Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Does anyone know where "temple of Wat Phu Plansung" is? I can't find it on any online map.

ChoakMyDee Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Som Nam na.The man was picking mushrooms.Why the need to gloat that he got hurt? Because this forum is populated by hateful, angry old men constantly looking for a target for their misery. As soon as they see a story of someone's misfortune, they rub their hands with glee...Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the pics...many people in the US are maimed or killed by bears...some horrifying stories of campers being attacked while sleeping in their tents, bikers, and hikers...mountain lions are bad to bone also...

halloween Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Drop bears? Drop bears are native to Oz, they would be very lost if found in Ubon. They've got cold beer, cheap rum, locals to shag. She'll be right mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is considered by many on this board, who read the news, that we reside in the circus and it is indeed run by the clowns. Apparently it is the tigers who have left town.

Travel2003 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Most members here, due to the fact they have only limited (bars, beaches, etc) experience in the kingdom, don't understand that mushrooms can be picked everywhere in the kingdom. Of course, the convicts like to hijack it into some idiotic Aussie issue, like they always do. Aussie Drop bears, American Pie jokes, Magic mushrooms...........

tuanku Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 malaysian sun bear.jpg A Malaysian sun bear is most likely candidate. As big as a buffalo"? Maybe if you've been on the weed? No grizzlies in Ubon. I would suggest Asiatic black bear. Males up to 200kg and 2m tall. Would look buffalo sized if you were under it being chewed!

Briggsy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The reason that bears are still present in Phu Jong Na Yoi NP is because the level of protection is particularly high due to the efforts of the Forestry Dept rangers in conjunction with the militarisation of the border area. Contrast it with the mountains of Sakon Nakhon and Udon Thani which have now lost completely their bear population. I might also take the victim's statement with a large pinch of salt. Whilst picking mushrooms is a common activity amongst Isaaners at this time of year, hunting wild animals including bears is far more profitable and worthwhile and remains a common and exalted occupation.
