I recently visited Australia, Sydney region. I've been warned about animals called drop bears. What kind of animal is it? Is it dangerous ?

@HorusKol you do realize drop bears aren't real, right? – Justin Self Jan 25 '12 at 8:05

1I had never heard of Drop Bears before, but they sound vaguely related to the Jackalope of the southwestern US. – Olin Lathrop Oct 5 '13 at 15:09

No, they aren't real animals.
Its one of those things people like to tell tourists to watch out for so they'll look stupid.

1on the other hand - almost everything that moves in Australia is dangerous: spiders, snakes, magpies (especially if you're cycling for some reason), emus, salties, etc... – HorusKol Jan 25 '12 at 1:08
