stepping high

koalas always look a bit awkward on the ground - these moments are rare and no he wasn't going to turn and smile for the camera ...
terrific healthy white bottom!
Thank you for your messages of concern during this time of fire and drought, much appreciated

[Sally Ings]

Great timing

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well they do say, "What goes up must come down" but I think Jordan feels that "it" doesn't have to stay down! Fun catch!

[Islandgirl]

Wow great timing!

[Beryl Lloyd]

In a hurry to get to a tree !!

[Rob Z]

Oh what a good catch. And you are so right about them looking awkward - and vulnerable!

[Bep]

Beautiful capture.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

He looks so different on the ground! Go, Jordan go!

[Babs]

Jordon on the run, I wonder if he is saying 'chase me'

[Pyrrhula]

Great timing and great capture.
Hope the fire problems are solved .

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh so wonderful & this koala is stepping high with ears pulled back. fav

[Milanie]

I believe this is the first one I've seen not in the tree.

[Vickie M]

I love this! He seems very happy!

[Martin Jalkotzy]

I's say they should stick to the trees by the looks of this photo!

[Rick]

Does seem a little awkward down there. Great shot.

[Fr1da]

He looks very strong and healthy!

[Diana]

what a great catch his fur looks so amazing!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@mjalkotzy they would if they only could that's for sure - but sadly we don't give them a lot of choice as their habitat is so depleted

@fr1da he is so incredibly strong! I can attest to that because we recently caught him for a research project and he was impressive!

[CC Folk]

Love those fuzzy ears.

[Denise Wood]

Love it when I see them walking :)
