[/QUOTE] [[QUOTE=Gay.com](http://QUOTE=Gay.com)] The cute, eucalyptus-eating wombat-like creatures seem to develop this tendency for gay orgies when they are in captivity. In the wild, they appear to remain heterosexual. Scientists monitoring the marsupials with digital cameras counted three gay interactions for every straight one. “Some females rejected the advances of males that were in their enclosures, only to become willing participants in homosexual encounters immediately after,” say the researchers.

Well I, for one, am totally relieved, being as I had nothing to do with this. I may have driven a significant number of American women to lesbianism, but Australian Koalas? Definitely not my fault. ---

So the infamous “dropbear” is in fact a male koala so sexually frustrated from seeing female koalas humpin’ each other all day, that it will drop down on any “furriner” to get some satisfaction. So now we know, you aussies have been found out 😛 ---

Wow. Hot marsupial on marsupial action. [QUOTE=Enter the Flagon] Well I, for one, am totally relieved, being as I had nothing to do with this. I may have driven a significant number of American women to lesbianism, but Australian Koalas? Definitely not my fault. [/QUOTE] That’s what you think. You know how that butterfly flapping it’s wings causes hurricans? Obviously you’re doing something to spread lesbianism throughout the animal kingdom.
