Stoned Kangaroos Creating Crop Circles
BBC News reports:
Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around “as high as a kite”, a government official has said.
The attorney general for the island state of Tasmania, said the kangaroo-like marsupials were getting into poppy fields grown for medicine; Australia supplies about 50% of the world’s legally-grown opium used to make morphine and other painkillers.
“We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles,” Lara Giddings told the hearing. “Then they crash,” she added. “We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high.”
Some people believe the mysterious circles that appear in fields in a number of countries are created by aliens. Others put them down to a human hoax.
