just a teenager

this is why I know he is only around 2 years old - can you see what I see?

[Christine Sztukowski]

I see a cute little koala

[Beryl Lloyd]

Cute - is it the scent mark on his chest ?

[LManning (Laura)]

A terrific portrait.

[Mags]

Such a lovely closeup of that face!

[Michelle]

Not sure but he sure is a cutie

[Babs]

I think it is because he has a scent msrk on his chest

[Pat]

Oh cute, I love his forward pointing ears on this one.

[Rob Z]

Not sure how you know - but he's very fresh faced.

[Junan Heath]

Fantastic capture!

[Renee Salamon]

I can’t tell, but he sure is cute

[Beverley]

Could it be he’s not alone… far left l see a possible friends finger

[Dawn]

Oh he has his eyes on something or someone delightful

[Barb]

He looks so alert? What might he be seeing?

[Lou Ann]

He’s a cutie!

[winghong_ho]

Wonderful shot, he is so lovely.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I see his fluffy ears and the scent mark on his chest. I agree with Beverley- whose finger is that on the far left? Is it his own? New young fella, I would like you to stick around Koala Gardens so Ms. Katrina can keep her experienced eye on you!

[Corinne C]

A stunning portrait.
I would not know how to determine his age. I think he is gorgeous!

[Joanne Diochon]

Is it that his scent gland isn’t very big yet?

[Zilli]

He is brooding, like all teenagers!

[Paula Fontanini]

Wide-eyed and innocent! So sweet!

[gloria jones]

Such a super, clear shot

[Diana]

A fabulous capture of this cute fella!

[haskar]

Beautiful shot and framing. I'm constantly learning something new!

[Wylie]

Something to do with the scent gland?

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cute.

[Harry J Benson]

So cute

[carol white]

He's very cute. I see the scent mark on his chest. Fav 😊

[Margaret Brown]

Love those ears!!

[Desi]

I see a brown mark on his chest - is that what says he is a teenager? He is adorable.

[Wendy]

He does a good impersonation of Jimmy Durante? ❤️

@beryl @onewing @robz @rensala @beverley365 @kchuk @corinnec @pusspup @carolmw @seacreature
all good guesses but @gardencat nailed it.
it is about the scent gland, but it is the size of it - just a small budding gland. kind of like a young boy starting the first whispy growth of beard to come. A mature male will have a big, dark, oily gland there :)

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Cute

[Rob Z]

@koalagardens That's so interesting - thanks for the info!

[Shutterbug]

I think it’s because he is starting to get a scent mark on his chest.

[Rick]

Great shot. Never would have picked that up.

[CC Folk]

What a cutie!

[Steve Chappell]

Great portrait
