This is actually a brand spanking new koala - I was so surprised as I was presuming it was Phoenix and then those liquid eyes turned my way and that nose pattern made my eyes pop.
Not sure of her name yet - she is creating a big competition to choose it on fb :)
That broad clean dry bottom is such a koala watchers dream and I couldn't help but hear those dynamic chords and Freddy start hey-heying. I did have a very sick little girl in the front plantation the day before that I had to capture and sadly she was beyond help. So seeing this beauty is beyond what I can describe to those of you that don't realise just how many of these precious girls we lose, so every healthy one and every joey is truly a huge celebration.
She is just gorgeous with those big bright eyes. Your monitoring of your group must help prevent the spread of chlamydia within your group. Have you been involved in any of the studies into it?
@robz my property isn't involved in chlamydia studies, but I manage all the data for Friends of the Koala and we work with the KHH (Koala Health Hub) at Sydney Uni who are the leading researchers on all things koala. :)
What a wonderful Christmas gift! I hope your facebook friends choose something like in that line. She's precious and I hope she's very happy in your woods- soooo happy for you!
@vignouse oooh interesting you think that Richard, she was really calm and just sat there looking me in the eye. She had been really actively feeding before I got there, I had watched her from a distance presuming she was Phoenix who was very near here yesterday :)
@milaniet thank you! Because she is quite small and doesn't have a joey on back, I'm thinking she is 18 - 24 months old. Perfect age for settling into a new home I say hopefully :)
