time for some perspective

I often show shots like this but zoomed in and we say 'wow how do they balance'. I really liked that I had a really clear view to her here to show you that wen koalas just balance and sleep on a thin branch, they really are doing exactly that. Thanks Matilda.

Great shot Katrina! It really does show-off the balancing act!

[Diana]

What an amazing balancing act, hard to believe they can sleep like this! I take it they would not be found like this on an extremely windy day ;-)

[JackieR]

Do they ever literally drop off when they nod off?? She looks so vulnerable, but if no flying predators she's safe?!

Fab pic

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Wow, super envious!

[Babs]

What what a balancing act. Matilda is a bit of a show off isn't she. ha ha

[Monique]

It’s amazing

[Annie D]

they're awesome little acrobats

[Nina Ganci]

trapeze artist asleep! It sure is a balancing act

[Issi Bannerman]

Ah, so cute, but so exposed if she falls!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@ludwigsdiana yep they will do this in the wind too 😊💚🐨

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond healthy koalas don't fall no, that's arboreal living 😊🤭

[Beryl Lloyd]

Out on a limb !! the true meaning of the words ! Amazing ability , super shot !

[Valerie Chesney]

Amazing how Matilda is so secure there she can sleep soundly...

[Lou Ann]

Oh my word! Amazing to me!

[Mags]

Aww! Wonderful shot.

[Bep]

Really amazing!

[Richard Sayer]

What a great image - they really are the most amazing creatures... as are you Katrina 🤗

[Nick]

Great composition, I like the leaves around the outside of the frame

[Chris Cook]

It looks very precarious.

[Merrelyn]

That really does put it into perspective.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wow, great capture. Don't fall little koala.

[Joanne Diochon]

Wow! She really is out there. I think in a lot of the previous pictures they look like they are balancing on a thin branch but have other branches within reach to grab onto if the main branch, or their balance, lets them down, but here, she doesn’t seem to have an option B if something goes wrong.

[Esther Rosenberg]

This put the koala so in perspective. Unbelievable how they can balance themselves. Also interesting shot qua size, they look tiny in that huge tree.

[LManning (Laura)]

Wow. Clever Matilda to manage such a feat!

[gloria jones]

Neat capture and composition

[jackie edwards]

nice change from the close up perspective. I like that the koala is almost centered and the branch dissects the frame. well done!

[Larry Steager]

Definitely gives good perspective.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@dutchothotmailcom thanks - I should add the tree is about 15 m tall in total, and Matilda weighs around 5kg. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the perspective shot, I wonder if it also obvious the sky is complete cloud and it is actually lightly raining as i took this 😊

[carol white]

Great capture,it looks very precarious.Fav😊

[Desi]

Wow. That is just totally amazing. What an eye opener to see her in context with her surroundings. Fav

[Margo Sayer]

Splendid...so beautifully poised.

[Krista Marson]

that limb looks so skinny!

[PhylM-S]

Amazing.

[wendy frost]

Terrific capture of balancing Matilda.

[haskar]

She looks pleased. Great caoture.

[Pyrrhula]

Wow. It`s amazing how they can do this.
(It's a top secret. Any space agency will deny it.)

[Vickie M]

Wow! They have amazing balance!

[Mave]

It looks so unsafe

[Bill]

Nice pose.

[Jane Pittenger]

So glad for the perspective

[Rick]

Great capture. Really shows how they can balance up there.

[Milanie]

This is a n amazing ability that they have to balance like that

[Lois]

Amazing that koalas are able to balance like this!

[Jean]

Wow, that’s crazy

[Jacqueline]

Amazing to see this!

[Fisher Family]

All done without a safety net! A lovely shot showing this precarious perch!
