Dissapearing Number 2's

[goingbush]

Anybody knows what animal digs up and eats your Number Two's ?

Noticed on a few occasions in outback WA and SA that you find a nice spot behind a tree to dig a hole for your evening No 2 , come back in the morning for another squat to find the hole has been neatly dug up and the number 2 MIA, no footprints left to identify the hungry critter.

Im thinking of buying an IR game cam to catch the perp, (and if its a feral cat a remote detonator)

Drop Bears leave no prints :D

My dog did that a few times while out camping.... She didn't dig them up though... They were ones that some dirty bugger had left out in the open unburied.

I was not impressed :mad: :spudnikhurler:

Anything that is not a herbivore

Hmmmm........Brings new meaning to the term "Hot Breakfast".........

[Don 130]

Perhaps your observations explain the term 'dingo bait'

[bob10]

I think I have the answer, lets hope they don't get a taste for flesh, Bob


"9. Poop

This one is slightly less pleasant than hair because we might have to come along with the poop. That would not be a pleasant experience. It's also a long shot. Most species produce their own excrement, and don't need to harvest that of other species, but it's possible that the aliens take in and emit a series of gases, and if that's the case, they might need someone else's poop. Why? Space is full of high-energy radiation that shoots through metal. The contents of a space ship can be shielded by a high electromagnetic field, but that raises other major problems. Layers and layers of dense organic material, on the other hand, absorb a lot of that radiation.
Present-day space agencies already have considered the idea that astronauts on long-haul voyages could line the walls of their spaceships with their food on the way to wherever they're going, and line the walls with their poop (properly packaged, of course) on the way back. Such agencies also mention that it could, with enough work, be possible to process that poop until it become edible again. It's then possible to feed those processed patties to the astronauts, who will then poop them out, and then it's back to the wall. I think at this point it's easy to see why we would rather have the aliens take our hair."

Close Pop, but no banana!

The ground based cousin of the koala and Im sure as you pointed out of the "drop bear" is most likely responsible for this especially in the mid outback areas of SA (eg the flinders ranges etc)

This animal will scrounge anything, they also will attack native bees nests and take the honey. These bears will associate with other animals without aggression making them a dying breed due to their vulnerability to other more aggressive breeds.

They also have a light brown, almost honey or yellow coloured coat which makes them less camoflaged and so easier to see in the native areas of the Flinders Ranges, I believe this colour may be better suited to the south western desert areas but am not entirely sure thats correct.

They are, of course, called the POOH BEAR.

(in the theme of "and you do just one goat"...)

Dr Digger,
here to help. :)

Thanks.....
(I think!) :D

[goingbush]

That seals the deal,
Im going to buy the IR camera as I definitely want to capture a photo of Pooh Bear (or Aliens as the case may be)

speaking of Drop Bears did anyone see this

Our dog also rolled in it:mad:

Some dogs seem to roll in anything that smells...:(

So true.

We had a great big dopey golden retriever who used to find deer poo when we were out for walks and he'd roll in it. That stuff is viciously stinky.

We also had a horse when I was younger and when the stable door was left open he'd nip in there and pick up a gargantuan mouthful of steaming horse turd and bring it out into the garden, put it down and then go back in for more, repeating this several times until he had a pile of suitable size for his mission.

His mission of course, was to lie in the pile and roll in it until his back was covered.

Hilarious to watch.
Not hilarious to clean; he hated the hose and I always felt bad when I was holding him and soaking him to clean it all off.

I miss having a dog.

[djam1]

Its all good Don at least they are not taking the ****:p

[AndyG]

And I thought they only ate honey, or am I getting my Christopher robins ? Confused?

[AndyG]

I remember one time in a fairly basic village, the toilet was whatever convenient Coconut log you could squat on. Anyhow with the local pig population waiting intently for breakfast, I decided I could suck it up until I got home the next day. ;)

[Don 130]

I got intrigued.

The pig (Sus scrofa), was first introduced into Australia by the first fleet in May 1788, when 49 hogs were ... established in the wild, populations of feral pigs rapidly built up and dispersed into ..... lodges and to scavenge human waste. .... and very few birds or animals (including sheep and cattle) will dig up and eat fermented.
I look forward to the trail cam results

Thats the Honey bear


we are talking about the pooh bear

They are named for traits...
honey bears eats honey
brown bears are brown
drop bears drop
teddy bears wear teddys...:eek:
pooh bears eat......

well anyway Im sure you understand now,



this reminds me of something thats happened years ago......

A WHILE AGO MY LITTLE BOY ASKS ME WHERE POO COMES FROM?


I EXPLAINED THAT FOOD PASSED DOWN THE OESOPHAGUS TO THE STOMACH WHERE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES INDUCE A PROBIOTIC REACTION IN THE ALIMENTARY CANAL TO EXTRACT PROTEIN BEFORE WASTE PRODUCTS DESCEND VIA THE COLON AND RECTUM TO EMERGE AS "POO."





"BUGGER ME " SAYS MY LITTLE BOY, "AND WHAT ABOUT TIGGER?"

[AndyG]

So Yogi & Boo Boo are Picnic Basket Bears

You Win.:D

Good to see this has not degenerated into class warfare over the carbon footprint of bear poo, the excessive numbers of bears entering on 457's, when we have those slack arse koalas up trees, ( who aren't bears), and last of all those uni cycle bears tail gating parked buses. :p

Just think of those pour souls in the wombat forest snapping off a frozen one:twisted:

[goingbush]

my No2 Cam arrived today, its a brilliant piece of kit, even has an inbuilt laser pointer so you can aim the camera at night. and has a position for a sim card if you want it to send the pics by SMS or email, won't be using that feature of course

This thread reminded me of a trip a few yrs back... My wife and I joined our neighbour, his wife and their friends on a trip camping by the Murray..
Whilst sat around the fire that eve, one of the group gets up and departs with shovel and bog paper in hand... A few seconds later, the neighbour gets up smiles and says "watch this" and also departs with a long handled shovel.... A few min later and he's back, having slid the shovel under the first guys butt catching his number two and disposing of it... Eventually our first mate returns to camp looking terrified. We all ask what's wrong... It took him an hour to open up and say "well, I had a crap and felt it leave, but couldn't find it..." It scared the hell out of him!!!! We couldn't stop laughing for hours!!!!! :D
