Hugo is such a handsome fellow!

Very handsome! Great shot

Hugo is such a handsome dude . love the steady gaze as he pears through the leaves ! fav

I think Hugo spies you too. Now his nose looks rather unmarked except for that little line at the top. DoI r3meber right that you id3ntify them mostly from their noses?
October 22nd, 2019  
He’s a sweet boy!

Great close up.

Wonderful pic!!

@gardencat indeed I do. His pattern though is rather distinctive - if you look at the pink inside his nostrils and the lovely ragged pattern at the base of the pink on each side it makes him very easy to identify :) Look back at some photos of summer and you will see he only has pink inside the nostrils too, but the amount and the patterning of it is very different to Hugo here. Thanks for noticing this!

I was interested to read your response to gardencat - I was also thinking about his nose pattern and how plain it was - i didn't realize that it included so much detail about the pattern inside his nostrils. This little fellow is just so untouched - is he only a youngster?

Oohhh full frame koala!

Such a cute expression on his face, Fav

Such a cute portrait!

Did you climb a tree to get this one? I know you have a good lens but it seems head on not up.
October 23rd, 2019  
A beautiful shot of Hugo. Love the focus on his eyes!
October 23rd, 2019  
Great capture
October 23rd, 2019  
An excellent portrait of Hugo! fav
October 23rd, 2019  
he caught you! haha
October 23rd, 2019  
@shutterbug49 hahaha me climbing a tree is so funny a thought! Sitting on the quad bike and on a hill I was able to get an angle more 'front on' than many of them are :)

@robz he is mature - I can tell as he looks around 7-8kg and has a pretty good hefty scent gland. So he is at least 3 years old, but after that one need to check the wear on their molars and that takes an anaesthetic :)

What a sweet face
October 23rd, 2019  
You've really got his attention. great shot.
October 23rd, 2019  
Yes well hello handsome!!! Fav
October 23rd, 2019  
Such a bright eyed & curious Hugo!
October 23rd, 2019  
Love Hugo 😍
October 23rd, 2019  
Super portrait shot :)
October 23rd, 2019  
Fabulous close up of this gorgeous face peering out, fav! Does you Canon allow you to shoot in RAW and still have the same zoom distance? Mine unfortunately not ;-(
October 23rd, 2019  
@ludwigsdiana when I choose to shoot in raw I believe I still have the same optical zoom, but I don't have the bit extra digital zoom. I never used to go into the digital zoom as I found it decreased the quality too much anyway.
October 23rd, 2019  
Wonderful :)
October 23rd, 2019  
Sweet capture Fav
October 23rd, 2019  
Delightful . I missed seeing your koalas while we away :)
October 23rd, 2019  
Nice face! I happen to be in Au right now and have just seen my first Koalas in the wild. Very cool!
October 23rd, 2019  
Love you title. Cute capture.
October 23rd, 2019  
As always, adorable!
October 23rd, 2019  
BEAUTIFUL...fav
October 23rd, 2019  
adorable cuddly little Hugo
fav
October 23rd, 2019  
@sstcowan oh that's fantastic! there is nothing quite like actually seeing them wild. Are you going through northern NSW?
October 23rd, 2019  
Hello! Fav
October 23rd, 2019  
Fantastic shot
October 23rd, 2019  
@koalagardens I see now that there are marks but to my eyes they are subtle. You must have sharp eyes to pick them out. I think I might just manage to identify Tucker. Going back through the last few weeks photos has been fun. I realize that the days I missed posting I also missed some great Koala captures.
October 24th, 2019  
I just love that face fav:)p.s what would happen if they ran out of the leaves they have to eat?.
October 24th, 2019  
@stevepam you've hit the nail on the head! the word is they will be extinct by 2050 because their habitat is being destroyed at such a high rate. They can only feed on certain trees, so once they are gone ...
October 24th, 2019  
Looks like Hugo has his eye on a snack too. Great portrait!
October 24th, 2019  
Beautiful portrait.
October 24th, 2019  
@gardencat I have a file of every nose that has been here and I admit some days it takes some time trawling through to compare nose patterns when I think I have a new koala here :)
