88. Drop Bears

Today, we head south and plummet into the lore surrounding the Drop Bear.  This ferocious, ambush predator has a long history of terrorizing the forests of Australia, but is there more to the story?  Fossil records, current sightings, and a connection to another well-known Australian cryptid, we explore all that the Drop Bear is.  Grab your bushman hat and don’t forget the vegemite, we’re going on an adventure.  Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole.
