Has anyone told you about the drop bear in Australia?

It is known to be a rabid-looking bear that will literally drop from trees and eat your insides!

Well, I want you to know that this is simply a very popular myth in Australia. It is so popular that some tourist attractions even sell “drop bear protection hats”!

Join us today as my dad Ian and I talk about the origins of the drop bear myth and how it became popular.
