brace yerself

cyclonic winds means those feet thumbs really come in handy for staying in the tree tops 🤭

[Jacqueline]

Great posture for staying put during a cyclone

[Sally Ings]

Do they not come lower down and into sturdier branches when strong winds are blowing?

[Beryl Lloyd]

Properly wedged in ,in a tight ball !!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@salza sometimes, but being arboreal they live in the tree tops as a rule

[Sally Ings]

@koalagardens I guess that's just another thing that they take in their stride. I'd probably worry about them during strong winds

[Ian George]

looks like it s staying there.

[LManning (Laura)]

Stay safe Matilda! She does look well tucked in.

[haskar]

Aerodynamic position and three fulcrum, and she did not attend lectures on mechanics.

[Lou Ann]

My goodness, cyclonic winds?! Well I’m hopeful she was there the next time you looked!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@louannwarren yes I promise she is just fine :)

[Danette Thompson]

Wow, very effective.

[Shutterbug]

One with the tree. Just another long nap day for Matilda. She has been through a lot this week. Hopefully she’ll catch a break to get a full stomach.

[bruni]

Matilda is taking it in stride. from what I read about the koalas even a strong wind or like here a cyclone won't get her running. she'll sleep through it.

[Mags]

I can see how rough the wind is. Great shot!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh my, that doesn't look too comfortable.

[Joanne Diochon]

Matilda doesn’t look like she is enjoying it too much, however.

[Islandgirl]

Wow that doesn't comfortable!

[Jane Pittenger]

Wow, you captured the wind movement well

[wendy frost]

Dig in Matilda and stay safe.

[Milanie]

You can see that wind in those leaves

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- Matilda must really be wedged in there! Great job in catching the wind in the leaves.

[Rick]

Wow, does look like the wind is really blowing. Glad she's hanging in there. Great capture.

[Taffy]

So interesting to see how she's positioned herself for safety

[Diana]

She really is braced for the worst! I wonderful if they sense a weather change like some animals.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, wow, I can see the wind in the leaves!

[Monique]

Wow

[Wylie]

What's that, a head butt wedge? what ever works I'm sure.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Small branch to find full coverage! Does he realize he is a bit larger than the branch lol?

[4rky]

Looks like Matilda has wisely assumed the "brace yourself" position - clever girl
