It would be easy if humans could deliver babies the size of jelly beans too wouldn't it, ha ha.

I've never thought to wonder this before but ,what happens when this jelly bean sized baby is born? How does it find its way into the pouch?

[wendy frost]

An interesting fact to know and amazing it can survive.

@beryl 🤣🤣🤣

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@gardencat right? mum prepares by licking a little path from her cloaca (koalas have just one opening 'down there' like birds and reptiles and marsupials.) the tiny foetus-like pinkie is born and has a great sense of smell and follows this saliva trail to the pouch. even tho it only has stubs for legs and arms it kind of wriggles along and mum will nudge gently.
pretty awesome?

[Harry J Benson]

Just relaxing

[Desi]

Wow how fascinating and what a lovely photo

[Joanne Diochon]

@koalagardens It is awesome but also sounds risky, especially for a species that doesn’t have large numbers of offspring at once. Makes me marvel at the number of ways nature has come up with to get the job of reproduction done.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Jean]

wow I did not know that

[Krista Marson]

[bruni]

I say it again, Nature is amazing. baby as small as a jelly bean and look at a koala now. and the process to get to mom's pouch, amazing.

[Rick]

Great shot. That is tiny for a new born.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You can't have something as amazing as a koala's birth just be something that happened by accident or the result of some random development. MHO! Truly amazing. Beautiful shot too.
