darn I thought I had her

https://youtu.be/tlIbawhMYK0 this title won't make sense unless you watch the short video 😊👀🤭

Mathilda gives a whole new meaning to "going out on a limb"! Interesting strategy for sure

[Pyrrhula]

Looking deep to see the photographer. What she want from me.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Oh my, listen to the two of them! Don’t go out on the limb, you two! I hope they both stay close so you can keep an eye on them!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Nice!

[CC Folk]

Very funny and interesting video. A koala can really move quickly when they want to...and such noises! Enjoy the courtship. :)

[Babs]

Well, she definitely doesn't like Swaggie does she, hope she is more impressed with one of the other boys.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think I prefer option 2. Keep screaming Matilda- we don't want any limbs to break underneath you! Someone once said, "Love is strange". I think they may have known about koala mating season! Great portrait!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Vickie M]

Such a cutie! Great capture.

[Islandgirl]

Haha funny video and interesting mating!

[Mags]

Aww! Such a cute shot!

[Lois]

Excellent video and explanation!

[Milanie]

Such a nice close-up

[Joanne Diochon]

So it seems it ended today with an " if I can't have her, no one can, as long as I hold the tree!"

[Shutterbug]

I guess the females have to play hard to get.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@gardencat yep, and she has to come in sometime doesn't she? 🤣

[Valerie Chesney]

Such drama unfolding before your eyes....My they can bellow..next time maybe.......

[PhotoCrazy]

This is so priceless Katrina, hope there will be a happy end soon :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Try try again!

[haskar]

Fabulous portrait. It was the first time I heard a koala. It's so amazing.

[Monique]

First ever for me too ☺️👍 entertaining video and lovely shot

[Wylie]

What a wonderful experience to watch (and capture) all this. At least she got rid of that pesky make, for now! Clearly you are using a really big lens to get these lovely close ups. fav

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Kate]

Nice closeup

[KV]

Lovely face!

[wendy frost]

Nice explanation in the video – maybe next time

[Desi]

Absolutely fascinating glimpse into the love lives of these amazing creatures. Thank you

[Jacqueline]

Loved the video too!

[Leslie]

here's looking at you babe

[Sally Ings]

She's playing very hard to get. All her screaming set my dogs off - they had to go chase imaginary koalas in the garden.

[bruni]

Interesting to watch a video of koalas mating ritual. Mathilda is playing hard to get.

[PhylM-S]

far less bellicose in this photo vs the video! Thay are sooooo amazing!

[Taffy]

Terrific closeup!

[Fisher Family]

Wonderful close up.
Katharine

[Mallory]
