@4rky I've never seen that, but if they wake with a start and jump, they sure slip and it's heart stopping to watch their facial expression in that moment as they flail the arms out and dig those claws into the bark!
We can say quite confidently however, that koalas only tend to fall from the trees in 2 circumstances: 1. a sick koala that becomes weak 2. fighting (if one does get to the other they usually try to throw them from the tree, so I reckon Jordan ended up fighting on the ground to get those facial rips).
Thanks for asking great questions!
I read somewhere yesterday that koalas are now "functionally extinct". Not sure how accurate the source was but I hope that's not the case! This guy seems to be functioning quite well sleeping LOL
@sydcanonphotos lots of contention around this statement, but sadly I believe we are very close. Certainly in some areas they are already either functionally or completely extinct. The situation is dire and they are hurtling towards extinction as their habitat is being destroyed at a rapid rate.
This is what I am all about really - regenerating koala habitat and developing a model to show private landowners how they can do the same as I believe it is the power of the people that holds the only chance they have. Our government here is not going to save them that is for sure.
What I can clearly demonstrate with the work I've done here is that all they need is their trees, and they will recover their numbers and health quite quickly.
Thank you for caring enough to comment, many Australians are rather oblivious to how serious the problem is and how low the numbers are.
Do any of the koalas ever slip mid-snooze?
