 The story of the Drop Bear
These strange beings were much larger than a miniature ground bear, and as such, with the mystical ability to destroy everything in it's path, these unusual new creatures started to threaten the existence of the miniature ground bear.
Such was the level of disturbance, that the miniature ground bears had to find an alternative living pattern that could cope with moderate levels of interference from the strange, two legged creatures now invading their formerly peaceful domain and who had brought so much eco-destruction with them.
You see, the miniature drop bear has not forgotten the human species for destroying its rich habitat with such a lack of respect for the natural ecosystem that was previously in place there.
