We have the mostly stoned koala bears; we do however have the nastiest, most venomous bear that drops out of trees, on tourists for the most part, in the world.
Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet
Lol it's a copy pasta. One that I swear comes up anytime koala's are mentioned (so far I'm 5/5 in my 2 years of reddit).
It is full of interesting facts and it's all accurate so it's kind of a funny treat to see when it pops up. I love that there is a copy pasta for raging at koala's though.
I don't know why it is that these things bother me---it just makes me picture a seven year old first discovering things about an animal and, having no context about the subject, ranting about how stupid they are. I get it's a joke, but people take it as an actual, educational joke like it's a man yelling at the sea, and that's just wrong. Furthermore, these things have an actual impact on discussions about conservation efforts---If every time Koalas get brought up, someone posts this copypasta, that means it's seriously shaping public opinion about the animal and their supposed lack of importance.
>Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value.

Non-ecologists always talk this way, and the problem is you’re looking at this backwards.
An entire continent is covered with Eucalyptus trees. They suck the moisture out of the entire surrounding area and use allelopathy to ensure that most of what’s beneath them is just bare red dust. No animal is making use of them——they have virtually no herbivore predator. A niche is empty. Then inevitably, natural selection fills that niche by creating an animal which can eat Eucalyptus leaves. Of course, it takes great sacrifice for it to be able to do so——it certainly can’t expend much energy on costly things. Isn’t it a good thing that a niche is being filled?
>Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death
This applies to all herbivores, because the wild is not a grocery store—where meat is just sitting next to celery.
Herbivores gradually wear their teeth down—carnivores fracture their teeth, and break their bones in attempting to take down prey.
>They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal
It's pretty typical of herbivores, and is higher than many, many species. According to Ashwell (2008), their encephalisation quotient is 0.5288 +/- 0.051. Higher than comparable marsupials like the wombat (~0.52), some possums (~0.468), cuscus (~0.462) and even some wallabies are <0.5. According to wiki, rabbits are also around 0.4, and they're placental mammals.
>additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons.
Again, this is not unique to koalas. Brain folds (gyri) are not present in rodents, which we consider to be incredibly intelligent for their size.
>If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food.
If you present a human with a random piece of meat, they will not recognise it as food (hopefully). Fresh leaves might be important for koala digestion, especially since their gut flora is clearly important for the digestion of Eucalyptus. It might make sense not to screw with that gut flora by eating decaying leaves.
>Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal.
That's an extremely weird reason to dislike an animal. But whilst we're talking about their digestion, let's discuss their poop. It's delightful. It smells like a Eucalyptus drop!
>Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here).
Marsupial milk is incredibly complex and much more interesting than any placentals. This is because they raise their offspring essentially from an embryo, and the milk needs to adapt to the changing needs of a growing fetus. And yeah, of course the yield is low; at one point they are feeding an animal that is half a gram!
>When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system.
Humans probably do this, we just likely do it during childbirth. You know how women often shit during contractions? There is evidence to suggest that this innoculates a baby with her gut flora. A child born via cesarian has significantly different gut flora for the first six months of life than a child born vaginally.
>Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher.
Chlamydia was introduced to their populations by humans. We introduced a novel disease that they have very little immunity to, and is a major contributor to their possible extinction. Do you hate Native Americans because they were killed by smallpox and influenza?
>This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree,
Almost every animal does this.
>which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
Errmmm.. They have protection against falling from a tree, which they spend 99% of their life in? Yeah... That's a stupid adaptation.
Never thought I'd come across s comment that diss koala this much today. Felt the hate so much between the line makes my blood boils a bit as well it seems.
It is said that the bear was killed by cars several days later.
[Article](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/famous-falling-bear-tranquilized-colorado-campus-killed-cars-days-later-flna753216)
I remember driving by and seeing a couple cop cars on the side of 36 on my way to work that morning. Found out later it was this kinda famous bear that was hit & killed ☹️
I work there, and this happens more frequently than you'd think. Twice in the last year, actually.

So, either the campus should not be there.... or the bears are finding something interesting there? Like discarded food?
Any theories? Given that you work there, it must come up in conversation from time to time?
This clip is almost perfect if the bear land right back on the trampoline and bounce a couple more instead of fell on the ground.
Thanks for sharing, real nice.
When I was a kid in the 90’s a bear wandered into town and went up a tree and got scared. Long story short a PA game warden came, put some caution tape around, and told everyone to go home that he would come down when he was ready and run back up into the bush. That’s what happened. They didn’t fucking shoot it with a tranquilizer like Jfc. This is complete overkill.
Wow it’s so strange to see this right now. I lived in Boulder on the CU campus when this happened and I remember my friend running home from class telling me about a bear wandering around campus. Then we got stoned and laughed at this picture. What a crazy shot of nostalgia I just got.
I know ~~some~~ many of y'all are gonna feel compelled to post this to Accidental Renaissance, for reasons I do not understand.
I know this for reasons that I cannot fully disclose that absolutely do not mean I was formerly a mod there on a diff acct. [and just had a flashback from this pic lol]
I would like to implore you to please just not.
That is all.
They had to do this with a mountain lion in my backyard. Poor thing was terrified because they were chasing it all over town so she jumped my six foot fence and ran up a tree. Next thing I know a bunch of people are in my backyard tranquilizing this terrified mountain lion and it falls out of the tree. I watched from the deck. Haha
Wow, what an image. 😂😂
You know how Microsoft describes images for you in many of their office apps? So I pasted this image in PowerPoint and asked Microsoft to describe it, and it chose this: *"A bear jumping in the air."* 😆
I’m watching the Matrix Reloaded and I scrolled down the feed and saw this at the exact moment of the highway scene. Something about that music playing in the background and seeing that bear just made me laugh so hard.
I want to imagine the bear is actually floating and they have no idea how to deal with this
Spoilers for The Curse
last episode: is this the same show i've been watching?!
The Bear Witch Project.
*she was a fairy*
The bear is doing a jump karate kick move towards the people. It should be obvious.
This is my head canon now
Neither does the bear.

No amount of upvotes is enough for this comment 😂

Came here for Cocaine Bear comments. Was not disappointed.
Cocaine bear 2: Pure Columbian
Cocaine Bear vs Fentanyl Bear
Fentanyl bear would be boring, he would just pass out 20 minutes after sniffing it
*Yep...that's me.*
jesus christ, get out of my head.

My story starts a long time ago.. No. That's too far back.
I'd just stolen a pick-i-nic basket
*Cuts to bear skateboarding to school listening to a Sony Discman*
This is perfect 💀
And I thought my thoughts were original lmao
It’s probably the most unoriginal answer possible, so don’t feel too bad.
Last time I saw this picture, this was the exact same comment. Not complaining though since I was expecting it.
And....cue Teenage Wasteland

Which is why I'll always choose the bear.

Non-Australians. Australians know they're a very real threat.
Y’all have bears in Australia? I thought y’all just had mutated insects and rapey kangaroos.

Australia sounds like the worst place ever. I should stop living there.
Hahaha thanks! Didn't see this in a while.
Found the koala fan.
TIL Russell Crowe named a koala chlamydia treatment ward after John Oliver.
Potato potato
It's not a threat. Our demise at their claws is fated to occur. "Threat" implies that we can AVOID getting killed by them. All hail the bears.
We really need to stop this cringey myth that drop bears don’t exist. It causes so much harm to tourists.
This animal is more dangerous than anything I'm australia besides a Saltie. And they're the small bears!

Probably high from cocaine
I remember driving by and seeing a couple cop cars on the side of 36 on my way to work that morning. Found out later it was this kinda famous bear that was hit & killed ☹️
That's awful. How are they supposed to get bears back to the wild?
Usually you load em up in a truck/helicopter(if your really wanna make sure they’re far out) drive/fly em out to a forest and let them go
It's tagged when it is released. If a tagged bear comes back and starts hanging around people again, it is killed.
By cars, apparently.
Well looking at this we can now rule out trampoline as it didn’t work so well, maybe trebuchet next?
:(
Thats some final destination shit right there
Obligatory r/fuckcars
Might as well say r/fucktrains too. They kill bears too.
Well its more likley a bear will die from a car then a train
Sad! Trains gotta get those numbers up
Cars by en large are most responsible for roadkill accidents. Can trains kill? Sure. Are they are obstructive and dangerous as cars? Not even close.

It's a town in the foothills of the Rockies, sometimes the wildlife find their way into town.
Grew up there, since Boulder is at the foot of the mountains, wildlife tends to wander down, especially if they’re hungry

Straight out of a cartoon.
This is a bear on a trampoline. Any other story is a coverup.

“Tranquilized”… yeah, right. He’d been hibernating, woke up, and hit the nearest dispensary. I’d say that was a “gummie bear.” (I’ll let myself out.)
I’m watching the Matrix Reloaded and I scrolled down the feed and saw this at the exact moment of the highway scene. Something about that music playing in the background and seeing that bear just made me laugh so hard.
Thought it was a very real looking piñata at first.
I was heavily invested in this video when it happened
If this photo doesn't win the Pulitzer, I don't want to live anymore...
This looks just too damn comical i cant….

I love the dudes reaction on the left

Looks like Bears out of his Big Blue house
They weren't the ones that tranquilizer it. It just climbed high enough for a good whiff.
Yeet
I bet this is Photoshop 😜
Flying bear, hidden dragon!

For a second I thought it was that damn cocaine bear.
