ready, steady, scream!

https://youtu.be/JSK-wTnD2mY This will show you that Summer is screaming, and you will hear Bullet bellow. Male koalas have to work hard to earn and then keep positions in the colony hierarchy.
For Summer who is just becoming a teenager, there are going to be many more of these altercations until he finds a place to settle and a position in the colony there.
Thank you for the awesome questions and comments on my photos.

@shutterbug49 yes their tongues are like firm rubber, and those ridges!

@ludwigsdiana yes, that is the danger of the strategy and sometimes the branches do partly break and they are left dangling for hours, and sometimes they break completely. hard life for these boys
