Hari OM Made me smile! Well, most don't now, but I guess it would have been an easy assumption given the close resemblance to the childhood stuffy! YAM xx
koalafications, I like that. I think they were originally called bears by the first white arrivals because they resembled teddy bears and the name stuck, because no one realised they weren't actually bears.

I am sure it's 'cos they look soft and cuddly. xx
DeleteHi Mimsy, very cute, thank youf or the smiles. I have no idea why they are called bears :)
ReplyDeleteThey have that look I guess but very different to most bears I've seen. : )
DeleteI suspect they were called bears because they are cute and cuddly looking. Very cute and cuddly.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely I would agree. I believe it is traumatic for them to be handled too much so maybe they don't like being cuddled.

ReplyDeleteI too thought it rather well put.
DeleteI am sure you are right as to why people thought they were a type of bear. We've found out differently since then.
