Already spring is giving us some high temperature days in the mid 30s, so Ellie wisely went to one of the coolest spots on the property. I'm surprised I don't find koalas in here more in the summer, instead of only occasionally
@jackies365 they cope with heat fine, but not so much with the dry heat as climate change is causing. remember that once they lived in dense canopies in old growth forest - even in searing summer days they stayed cool and hydrated in a forest. now they are often forced into shrubs in gullies to avoid the dessication
@terryliv the fur on their backs, arms and legs is incredibly insulating, and they lay as much of the front along the tree trunks to absorb the coolness
