we all do it

I thought I should show that Matilda isn't the only one, this is a classic koala sleeping position, as Bullet demonstrates

[Ann H. LeFevre]

So snuggly! LOL I was talking about you yesterday and the things I've learned about koalas from you. Hubby and I had a wonderfully FILLING anniversary meal. It gave him extra energy and he didn't fall asleep easily. I, on the other hand, was able to fall asleep rather quickly. I told Jeff I was just doing the "koala thing"- eat a hearty meal and fall asleep! We had a good chuckle about that. Great shot!

[Joanne Diochon]

Somehow, when Bullet does this, it looks like he is fed up with the world and trying to shut it out.

[Lou Ann]

They look so comfy in these positions.

Great capture and it seems to show the classic position as you have shown.

[Yoland]

So cute, do they ever roll out of the trees when they’re sleeping?

[carol white]

Very snug,a super capture

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@yoland good question! healthy koalas don't normally fall out of trees, even when sleeping like this I'm happy to say 😊

[haskar]

Lovely ball

[Chancelique]

Adorable!

[Shutterbug]

I love the way they roll up in their blanket. Do they have an extra thick coat in the winter, thicker than summer?

[Lois]

Adorable sleeping position!
