 Drop bear - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A drop bear (or dropbear, scientifically Phascolarctos hodgsonii) is an Australian marsupial related to the koala.
The modern legend of the drop bear is descended from Australian Aboriginal legends.
Stories of the creature may be related to the Phascolarctos stirtoni or the carnivorous Phascolarctos involus, which belong to a group of extinct animals known as Australian megafauna.

 Vicious Dropbears
Dropbears (Phascolarctos stirtouri) are the more vicious, carnivorous relative of the Koala Bear (Phascolarctos cinereus), whom they very closely resemble.
They are generally slightly larger than the average Koala, and some specimens have been reported to grow as large as the extinct Giant Koala (Phascolarctos stirtoni).
Bushwalkers should be prepared to run away immediately after the sound of an impact, and to drop their pack as a decoy against the Dropbear chasing after them.

 An Explanation for use of "yahoo" in Australia 1984
Descriptions likening it to the wombat or native "bear" may be nearer to the truth, as may be Henry Lawson's remark that the hairy man was thought by some to be the last of a species of Australian animals which hadn't been discovered yet.
Perhaps the Yahoo was indeed some entirely unknown animal, like the projected Pleistocene species Phascolarctos stirtoni Bartholomai 1968).
Whatever the case may be, the problems are as much conceptual as technical.

A drop bear (or dropbear, scientifically Phascolarctos hodgsonii) is a Australian marsupial supposedly related to the koala.
Another theory is that the drop bear lore, especially when related to children, is to discourage the young from straying needlessly below eucalyptus trees, thus protecting them from the additional danger of getting hit by a falling branch (arbitrary detachment of old branches being very common with certain species of the eucalyptus plant).
The current school of thought is that the drop bear may be related to the Phascolarctos stirtoni or the carnivorous Phascolarctos involus, which belong to a group of extinct animals known as Australian megafauna.
