Drop Bear Shorts
Description: This retro, comic-inspired design captures Australia’s most feared (and funniest) cryptid—a ferocious koala poised to strike from above. Printed in a bold four-colour CMYK screen-print style, this shirt is perfect for anyone who loves Aussie folklore, tongue-in-cheek humour, or just wants to warn unsuspecting tourists. Ideal for locals, travellers, and anyone brave enough to wear a legend.
Description: If you’ve ever walked under a gum tree and felt a sudden sense of dread, now you know why. This design captures the legendary Drop Bear mid-attack, all claws, chaos, and zero remorse. Equal parts adorable and absolutely not to be trusted, it’s a tribute to Australia’s most misunderstood apex ambusher. Wear it as a warning... or a confession. Cool fact: The name Thylarctos Plummetus is a tongue-in-cheek mock Latin term often used in Australian folklore to give the mythical Drop Bear a “scientific” classification.
Description: A lower spotted Australian drop bear. According to the information on the fauna catalogue pages of the Australian Museum, this creature is classified as Thylarctos Plummetus. The legend states that the drop bear will not follow you around to take you down, quite the contrary, as it will leap down from a tree when you least expect it, land on your shoulders and kill you by biting on the neck or cracking the top of your skull using its gigantic fangs. Rest easy; there is no maniacal, huge koala dropping down from trees and devouring unsuspecting tourists.
