Newman seems to be holding up to the hard spring conditions pretty well - such a male face! Just a bit wonderful on black ...
Thank you for the lovely messages of support and concern during this hard time of fires.
Newton is handsome indeed. Now I'm going to have to look back through your photos and see if I can figure out what makes a Koala look more or less male (or female).
@gardencat sometimes it's really obvious and sometimes it isn't! males should have a broader face, look more muscular, have a larger, prominent, roman nose. Girls should have a rounder face, fluffier ears, softer eyes. But as in all life, even when dimorphism is part of the makeup, you will find some males are more feminine (like Krissy!) and some females are big strong 'handsome' gals. Enjoy searching and see what you come up with!
Isn't he just splendid?! His coat looks to be in super condition...in spite of smoke etc. I understand your mission to care for these animals...and you have my respect for your integrity and devotion to caring for them. Thank you ;-)
Cling on!
