Actually, the story of 'drop-bears' started in Australia as a tactic to scare U.S. soldiers during a war game. The Aussie soldiers told the Yank soldiers about carnivorous Koalas know as 'drop-bears'. They explained that 'drop-bears' drop out of the trees at night in search of meat, and attack in packs to take down full grown men. The Yank soldiers stayed awake ALL night out of fear of 'drop-bears', and were too worn out to win the war games the next day, landing Australia it's first win in a US/Australia war game.

The story of the drop bear goes back far and wide into folklore, way back to the time when great caverns of trees stood up against the sands of time. Way back to the era when grues really did appear on the outer surface of the planet.
It came to pass many centuries ago that certain animal species were destined to become extinct due to their lack of ability to adapt to changing times. The miniature ground bear was one such species.
Previously, they were able to survive in harmony will all other living creatures in the forest, but as time continued, this harmony was disturbed and shaken from the very foundations of its roots. Strange beings, largely unknown in these parts, began to interfere with the general order of things, breaking up natural cycles and patterns that had been successfully in place for eons.
These strange beings were much larger than a miniature ground bear, and as such, with the mystical ability to destroy everything in it's path, these unusual new creatures started to threaten the existence of the miniature ground bear.
Such was the level of disturbance, that the miniature ground bears had to find an alternative living pattern that could cope with moderate levels of interference from the strange, two legged creatures now invading their formerly peaceful domain and who had brought so much eco-destruction with them.
So, the miniature ground bears, for some largely unexplainable reason, took to the trees in an effort to evade the ominous path to extinction, which, as science has recorded, more or less succeeded in saving the species from extinction.
So transformed from their old ways were later generations of these creatures that they are referred to as miniature drop bears, or just drop bears for short.

They may or may not exist. There are no true photos of them, just retouched photos of koalas with long teeth. The myth was actually made to discouraged children from wandering near eucalyptic trees and to discourage foreigners. If this is the drop bear you are referring to, I hope this helps if not sorry.
