No. Dropbears are completely mythical. 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. They revived in popularity in the late 1990s, due to Terry Pratchett's novel "The Last Continent".
Dropbears are said to be carnivorous koala-like creatures which drop down from trees on unsuspecting hikers and campers. They particularly like gullible people who are taken in by the stories about them...
