[MicCanberra]

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-27/men-have-lucky-escape-after-car-hits-kangaroo-near-michelago/10168066 I wonder what was in the pouch.:eek:

[Kamloops50]

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.

[MicCanberra]

Not sure if the roo survived or if it was Roo-ined as well.

Driving my wife to Moruya Hospital 6.30am this morning, 35 km trip, I ran over a fresh road kill ROO, now I have to go and hit the underside of the Camry with the old high pressure hose. Did not see any bears on Princes Hwy. :'):rolleyes:

[GUT2407]

Yeah not smart to hit those buggers, wombats can make a mess if your undercarriage too.

[MicCanberra]

I try and keep my undercarriage clean and protected. You never know what can happen if you don't.

LOL, you will have to avoid both types. :)

What's the difference between South Coast and normal Droppies??

[NSWP]

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:

[Kamloops50]

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.

Two is enough.:D

The grizzly is the most interesting to watch as the way search for food in old logs. They don't leave much of the log.

Do they partake of a cold Molson's ? Or even a glass of Canadian Club on the rocks? :hearteyes:

[MicCanberra]

When it comes to whiskey in Canada, I prefer a Crown Royal myself.

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:

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
