Reminds me of the prank where Australians tricked foreigners to believe that kangaroos keep their offspring in a fucking pouch.

Australians make up bullshit all the time about their animals though. Look at the platypus (otter with a beak strapped on), quokka (it's a kids plush toy), and the "drop bear" (not actually a bear but a carnivorous marsupial).

Well you'd have to be fool enough to believe Australia is a real place to begin with.

The BBC did an April Fools day joke along these lines too. Perhaps one is based upon the other.
