Mystery of Crop Circles Answered

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

In Tasmania, Australia, crop circles have been found in the local farming area. More specifically, circles are found in the poppy fields. But it's not aliens or pranksters, the culprits are Wallabies.

Apparently, the poppies are medicinally grown for opiate and morphine for the world's pain stricken populations.

Wallabies break through the barriers to eat.

The animals consume the plant parts that contain the unmanufactured, unsynthesized compounds and cause abnormal behavior.

The stoned wallabies run around in circles.

Though in Tasmania the crop circle phenomenon is Wallaby based, this story makes me wonder what is grown in the other fields across the globe?

And, do they have Wallabies there too?
