These lunar tracks/trails have been known about for some time and the explanation is that they were caused  by rolling / bouncing rocks ??
   So okay then, these rocks are approx 24 metres in diameter which is a pretty biggish rock that would weigh a truck load of tons, even on the moon and I do not see how a rock that large would  bounce anywhere (would not fit in my back yard) or can happily trundle along the lunar surface up hill , down hill, along crater walls across really big surface cracks while maintaining a steady path width. scratch

Maybe Big G & Son were playing marbles. Remember "Track The tore"

Speaking of drop bears Adrian, I never new what they were, nor what the meaning of drop bear meant,(& maybe still don't) till one day out bush prospecting, slowly meandering through scrub & tall gum trees, I heard a startling bang about 2 meters or so behind me Shocked
First thing I thought, were a section of heavy tree branch must have snapped off & almost got me, till I turned around to see what were a large Koala on its back.
For a second there I though the critter were dead, but no sooner did I take a step closer to get a better look, I saw it start to move its head slowly from right to left, whilst still on its back front arms extended open & outwards, before turning towards me for a better look. A couple of seconds latter, it slowly stood up, went for the nearest next tree & started to climb up at a fast pace. Shocked
The next thing I thought, surely I can't be that much of an ugly looking bugger, that frightened him more than me? Laughing
Well it didn't take me long to figure out how or why such a large koala bear happened to fall from a tree limb from high above, for I would too, when I'm narked off my face, chewing on those gum leaves day in day out. It must have been doped off its face & tried to grab onto an imaginary near by branch, that were just not there Shocked Q35
Anyways to cut a long story short, all turned out well with the large Koala & hence the saying "drop bears" for if one that size were to drop directly on top of anyone from a certain height, it be curtains I tell ya Shocked Laughing

Bloody hell Kon!! Yous survived a Drop Bear attack. affraid Few have lived to tell the tale.
I encountered a Drop Spider once pale I was walking along a bush trail that had overhanging tree branches when I heard a noise from behind me, I turned around an there was this bloody big mongrel spider on the ground trying to have a go at my boots. The son of a gun had waited for me to walk under his branch and then launched itself at me no doubt intending to sink its fangs into my neck  Laughing

Looked a bit like this one.
