going down

Maxine is only a couple of feet from the ground and checking once more before taking the final leap onto the ground where a koala is the most vulnerable.
Thank you for the many thoughtful comments on my photos

Bless her -- she has to make sure , there is nothing to threaten her !

I guess they don't spend much time on the ground. What are they in most danger from? Great capture by the way. Fav.

@susiemc the biggest threats are dogs and cars. sadly we lose a lot of koalas to both as there are less and less trees they are on the ground more and more and moving further all the time. every time they leave my property they have to cross roads at some point :(

I wonder why she came down from the tree. Did she head right up into another one? I hope she is okay! Careful, Maxine!

[Karly]

Easy does it, Maxine!

[Rick]

Great shot. Hope she gets back up in another tree real soon.

[Peter Grave]

Nice shot.

[carol white]

Looks like she's hanging on for her life

[Islandgirl]

Cute, and look both ways before crossing the road!

@kchuk actually as it happens Jordan was in the tree and she was escaping him! 😂
@alia_801 haha yes! that's why their claws are so long and sharp, they literally claw their way up and down

[Valerie Chesney]

What a grip she has on that tree trunk! Be careful dear Maxine..
