braced for anything

I love how koalas sit back on the cartilage pads on their rump and hold on with their feet this way - Bullet is 25 m or so high in a huge tree

He looks so comfy. How do you get up at eye level?

@dutchothotmailcom I was able to take this photo from further up the hill so I was looking across at the heights of the tree 🙃

Bullet makes it look so easy ! but then he is a Koala !

Fabulous...

[Mags]

I wish I had cartilage pads like that!

[Joanne Diochon]

Thank heavens for the padding to make their life in the trees easier.

So cute!

They have no fear and a great sense of balance.

It continues to amaze me how they can sit in the trees.

[LManning (Laura)]

So totally relaxed.

[Shutterbug]

That really is a stable position. It is similar to what we did in rock climbing when we were lucky enough to have something behind the rock face. I NEVER would have thought of taking a nap that way.

The more you look the more impossible it seems! Can't see how their rump doesn't go numb!

Great capture.

[Valerie Chesney]

Koala positions are just so amazing.

[Diana]

How wonderful that you have hills to get better views and perfect shots, this is a good example.
