The drop bear is a creature from Australian folklore described as a dangerous and predatory marsupial similar to a koala. Various tactics are suggested to deter drop bear attacks, including the use of vegemite behind the ears.

However, there is no evidence that the drop bear is a real creature, or even a myth that is meant to be taken seriously. Drop bear stories are meant to be humorous and form the basis for practical jokes on those unfamiliar with the Australian wilderness.

Therefore, spreading vegemite behind your ears would serve no serious purpose in protecting you from animal attacks, although it might prove entertaining to others familiar with the legend.
