Stoned wallabies causing crop circles

Thursday, June 25, 2009 » 10:01am

Things are really hopping in Tasmania where wallabies are getting stoned on the state's opium poppy crops and creating crop circles.

The wallabies are breaking into the poppy fields and making the circles while they're high.

Rick Rockliff from Tasmanian Alkaloids says wildlife and livestock which eat the poppies are known to act weird, and he's told the Hobart Mercury there's been many stories about sheep eating the poppies and then walking around in circles.

Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.
