Kamloops50 Posted August 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Did they find the kangaroo after or did it leave the scene. i Canada I've similar things happen when hitting a bear. The bear usually gets away uninjured to fight another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted August 29, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2018 What's the difference between South Coast and normal Droppies?? South Coast Bears sometimes just run out from the bush on the side of the Princes Hwy, not always dropping down from the gum trees like the normal Australian Drop Bear. :cool: Just beware if travelling down here, the roo bars on your vehicle will not deflect the bears.:loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted August 29, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) You should see the animals we get on the roads up here. Moose, deer , elk and bears(2 kinds). Indeed, having been to Canada, you have some wild things running around there. That is why you need the RCMP.

NSWP Posted September 1, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 1, 2018 How come the Mogo Zoo does not have South Coast Droppies in captivity? I have a friend who works there as a volunteer guide, perhaps I could sponsor a drop bear for Mogo Zoo. They will fit in well down there.:hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 3, 2018 Author #24 Share Posted September 3, 2018 How come the Mogo Zoo does not have South Coast Droppies in captivity? Because they cannot be kept in captivity, they are true escape artists and very cunning. If you manage to capture one and keep them in something they cannot escape from they become docile and pretend to be like an everyday koala until they see their opportunity to escape.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
