'Drop bears' are fictional, invented to scare/confuse tourists who are unfamiliar with Australia's wildlife.
Further information:
The fictitious creatures known as dropbears are said to be carnivorous koala-like creatures which drop down from trees on unsuspecting hikers and campers. They began to appear on the Australian scene, particularly in camping and scouting groups, in the 1970s, and like many Australian mythical creatures such as bunyips, gained in popularity as stories were told about them around campfires in the night.
