run Jordan run

You can see the collar is definitely off Jordan now, and apologies for the crap quality, but it does actually show the action and feeling of it all.
Jordan actually put on 550 grams during the past few months while wearing that collar, during breeding season and the drought and fire event! I can attest that he is also s-t-r-o-n-g!
George, beside me, is a professional koala catcher/tree climber, and has caught more than 700 koalas for research. He turned to me twice and said - he is really strong, those arms! So the big alpha of my colony impressed him I'd say :)
I will write a blog post when I can with full information on the project, and will update it with what data we can analyse before the battery failed.

Just look at him go

[Margo Sayer]

Affirming
...to see how your project is being supported by professionals like George. We all need/want support in so many situations. Good to see 3 key players in the same shot;-)

[Issi Bannerman]

How wonderful to see!

[tony gig]

Wonderful...

[Monique]

Good to see 👍

[Rob Z]

He'll feel marvellously free again. A job well done Jordan!

[haskar]

Great action shot. I wonder what the read data will say.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely shot of Jorden escaping to freedom again - I hope the experiment proved useful !

[DawnLouise]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Love all your posts.

[Sally Ings]

How wonderful. You can be proud of what you are achieving

Great movement there by Jordan, boy he can shift

He certainly seems in a hurry to get up that tree!

Great shot of the works and care you do.

[wendy frost]

Great capture showing your work and I hope you get some interesting data from Jordon.

[Lou Ann]

So good to see you doing what you love. Proud of Jordan for gaining some weight, too!

[Vickie M]

I love seeing the work you're doing with the koalas! I'm glad to see Jordan is doing better.

[Valerie Chesney]

What a great capture of you three....Jordan is off up that tree like a shot....one healthy koala.

[Taffy]

So interesting and good storytelling image.

[Rick]

Looks like he was in a hurry, for sure. Great capture.

[KWind]

Looks like he moves fast! Great shot!

[Fr1da]

So informative !

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Jordan has things to do! (time for yummy leaves?) This picture helps me really understand his size, and it looks like you had your hand on his furry body :) I hope you learn good things from the data! And that you get rain and the fires can be put out.

[Nina Ganci]

very clear action shot, great info.
Thanks for sharing

[Margaret Brown]

So good to see he is thriving, nice action shot

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@kchuk He weighed 8.75 kg. I had my hands on his shoulders to let him out of the bag and he moved so fast my hand went up with him! I sure can't wait to see the data.
Thank you, the fires are weighing on all our hearts all the time

[Tanja]

Strong and fast :)
Good luck with data analysis and I hope that the fires will soon cease

[Islandgirl]

Great to see you at work!

[Jane Pittenger]

I didn’t realize they were so small

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I have another question. Was Jordan under weight? I’m still trying to get my brain around his upper body strength! I imagine his legs would be strong from moving around the trees and holding on to branches. I have never really thought about his shoulders and arms, though! Please stay healthy and safe, Jordan!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like this little window into the work you do and the people who work with you. 700 koalas! That's VERY impressive! It will be interesting to see what you learn from the data you collected- fascinating work!
