Wicked thoughts - what if he lost balance and was just swinging from under the branch !!! dare I say hee hee !!

@beryl these are the moments when you never have your camera pointed and focused, or the video running.

Recently I had taken some shots of Krissy sleeping in a young tree so he was only a few metres above me. The lens cap clattered on the bike as I lowered my camera. He woke with such a start he leapt and slipped and grabbed the branch only just in time and scrambled back up higher. I apologised profusely and told him that at least next time he could let me photograph it ;)

I have indeed seen this happen more times than I would like! Your stomach lurches and you can probably imagine their little eyes fly wide open, there is that mad scrabble as they grab and swing and get back on top.

I don't think they often fall completely, they are pretty good with those claws. But Frankie was around 20 m off the ground in this shot, so you would hope the claws stay well embedded!

They always look so relaxed and comfortable in the most awkward positions....awkward for humans anyway.

So sweet

Maybe he thinks he could fly...or at least try?

Got to love Koala butt shots. I have to say he looks to be enjoying his planking much more than I do, on the odd occasions where I do it as part of a workout.

Such a sweet image -- how they make lying on a branch looks so comfortable astonishes me.

Lovely capture and he does look very comfortable for a Koala

it still looks impossible, holding on or not, sleeping lying on such a small branch
April 19th, 2019  
Thats a narrow branch ...my gosh, what balance...
April 19th, 2019  
He looks comfortable and totally relaxed.

So funny- brought back childhood memories of swinging upside down on the monkey bars on the playground

Such a sweetie! It reminded me when I the first time entered on the sailing yard.
