G'day Sqwertz

I'm not sure how this pic ended up in your collection of phood fotos,
but it leads me to ask: "How high up the tree were you?"

Isn't that an email joke type photo? I've seen it before.

Search me. Dunno much about conventional bears, real or illusionary.
(We only have the dangerous drop bears here in Oz. ;-)

In a country full of taipans, funnel webs, box jellies and salties (to
name a few), what the hell do you need a drop bear for? How about a
flying platypus that spurs you in the neck while you're looking for all
the other things that will kill you.
I'm surprised that there aren't only a couple dozen of you left huddled
on a beach hoping to board a naval vessel whose crew is afraid to launch
a boat to save you.
That's my view from T.V. and an overactive imagination. All we have
where I live are a few cheesy rattlesnakes, mountain lions and
reintroduced bears. Pfffft.

There's a few non-food pictures that got scattered into my food
album. That one was part of an email somebody sent me.

It's a pretty tame bear, as there are people and a parking lot in
the background.

Bears are not edible as far as I'm concerned.

I think you're confusing those with flying fox [fruit bats] that carry
some nasty viruses (akin to rabies in at least one case). (Do a
search on "fruit bat virus site:.au" for enlightenment. :-)

You forgot "Shrub" [the lesser Bush].

>OBFood: Rattlesnake->tastes like froglegs->tastes like chicken.

In the late 1800s the _Queensland Agricultural Journal_ mentioned that
a breakfast of 3 or 4 flying fox per head would give the indentured
Kanakas [South Sea Islanders] sufficient energy to cut sugar cane all
morning. (Unfortunately, one of the conditions of Federation in
1901 was that Kanakas should all be repatriated; and flying fox have
been a bloody menace to orchardists here in the tropics ever since.)

Cheers, Phred.

Not necessarily a tame bear, more likely just one used to people which
is "far" from the same thing. Never underestimate the stupidity of a
city-type tourist trying to get a photo.

I should have added, "not edible ... unless they **** me off"

The bear in that picture is just an overgrown racoon. Though I
would be worried that mom is around the corner.

Oh Steve, when I initially viewed the subject line I thought it was "Sqwertz
the *abortionist*"...
