[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ulti, you forgot the bush tit.

I'm not sure if people really thought Koala were bears as much as the name thing where people always added "Bear" to the name, like when people say "panda bear." "Koala bear" was really common when I was a kid.

Fortunately I was a nature show junkie so wasn't too out of it on a lot of things. Spent all day yesterday watching a marathon of World's Wierdest. Best species name ever = Sarcastic Fringehead.

Dinosaurs on the other hand...
I'd be surprised if any I learned about in elementary school still exist. (Metaphorically speaking).
