Pretty much the title. I also learned that drop bears aren't even reals, they are an australian crypto. Who the hell invented an enormous carnivorous koala? That's nuts.
I was looking for a video where a koala was dropped off a tree by another bigger one, and starts crying (it seems evil, but I stumbled upon it some time ago and I told a coworker that they cry like a child, and she wanted to hear it).
Anyway, I was searching it on YouTube typing "dropbear crying". I clicked on the second video. It was about how you should wear protective gear when you touch a dropbear. I thought it was a bit extreme since koalas don't seem really aggressive, but whatever. They're still animals, so it makes sense.
Near the end of the video, lo and behold, it was revealed it was just a prank. Because, you know, fucking dropbears aren't real.
That's pretty much it. I was also an English tutor in high school, and I clearly remember correcting some of my students on the name. I probably convinced my teacher that drop bears was the real name.
I'm not a native speaker, so I guess I can be excused. But damn, I feel dumb.
TL;DR : I thought koalas and dropbears were the same, teaching that to my students. They're not.
