Koala?

I remember hearing years ago of a tourist being killed by a koala. People love picking up and holding koalas and apparently one decided that it didn't like being held. Claws to the jugular and it was all over red rover.

Koalas have very sharp and powerful claws they use to get up and down trees so I could just imagine the damage they could do.

What a disappointment, Dun! And koalas look so cute and cuddly.

I think they have an alcohol problem too, and everybody knows that alcoholics can get nasty.

I learn something new every day on FR. I guess I won't ever try to pet a Koala. :-)
