The Drop Bear by Hiro Inkin and Chris Edser - Paperback Edition

A Hilarious Aussie “Field Guide” to a Legendary Creature

A hoax? A myth? Think again! The Drop Bear dives into one of Australia’s most famous (and fearsome!) legends, presenting a tongue-in-cheek “scientific” look at the mysterious Thylarctos plummetus.

Told through notes, sketches, and observations from a two-year “research expedition,” this brilliantly playful book brings the Drop Bear to life in a way that’s both funny and fascinating. Blending fact and fiction, it invites readers to question, imagine, and enjoy the wild side of storytelling.
