drop bears
Shy, gentle creatures, about which little is known. Natives of Australia, they are purported to "drop" down on the heads of unsuspecting passers-by. An unfortunate misconception, and one that has led to their poaching and near-extinction.
Possibly related to the chupacabra, an equally misunderstood creature of the southern United States.

The Duke
John Wayne. The ultimate gunslinging star of the Western, and one of the greatest men ever to live.
He played the same character in every movie he was ever in. Calm, rugged--a real man with a gun and a heart. He never changed, and that's why we love him. You always knew where you stood with John Wayne.
