Although, and it’s a very unpopular truth lately, the majority of large marsupials in Australia were killed off by the first settlers (in harmony with the land, etc). I’m quite frankly surprised that koalas survived long enough to be protected.

Still got the scars from my encounter with a drop bear in Darwin.
