so excited this afternoon to see this furry friend in the tree next to our house. I think he/she is quite young being not as big as some of the koalas that come to our garden. This is their favourite tree. Over the last couple of months the tree has dropped an enormous amount of leaves and now has lots of fresh young shoots which will be very tasty.
I thought I followed you already, didn't I? Mmmmm well now I do! Hope all is well with you and sorry I have been a rubbish friend last year, will do better this year. I actually do all my thoughts of the day just for you...LOL!
@huvesaker well Mr. Boo, although they sleep around 22 hours a day (because eucalyptus leaves take a very long time to digest) I have seen them move quite fast when they are on the groud and want to cross from one tree to another. They have very sharp claws. One evening one walked very close to me so that I could have patted it but I didnt dare. They do not attack anything and are sadly sometimes attacked by dogs but you would have to be very careful if you picked one up. We all love them and if one is trying to cross a road the cars will wait patiently. Have a look at these pics. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/adelaide-cyclists-stop-to-give-thirsty-koala-a-drink-from-water-bottle/news-story/acf3ef08c6889954b48aaa354c95cd8c
