Tasmanian wallabies are forcing their way into poppy paddocks and getting "high as a kite".
Quote:

"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," she said.

"Then they crash … we see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
