Amazing animals...

An amazing fact ! I can not get my head around it ! (fig speaking !! )Such a lovely shot !
September 24th, 2021  
Whoa! Really?! That’s over 6 and a half feet!!!!!

I wonder what purpose it serves. In humans it seems to be a not very necessary organ but given the amount of territory allotted to it in a koala it must serve some purpose for them.

Good grief.......:o
September 24th, 2021  
LOL!
September 24th, 2021  
Onw, that sure is a long one!
September 24th, 2021  
Crikey!

Wow that's quite some appendix. Obviously serves a very important function for Koalas.

I read that the human appendix serves to repopulate beneficial bacteria to the digestive system. The koala must use theirs in digesting leaves.

Wonderful position...fav

@louannwarren yes that big, truly hard to wrap the head around as @beryl says 😂
September 24th, 2021  
@gardencat for the koala, that is where all the digestion happens, billions and billions of bacteria breaking down the cellulose walls 🤓
September 24th, 2021  
@pandorasecho that's exactly what it is for in the koala 👌

Cool pose.
September 24th, 2021  
I guess it has to be long to digest all the leaves they eat.
September 24th, 2021  
Well, you need that much appendix room when you're digesting those tough eucalyptus leaves! Cool fact- I think human intestines are pretty long too- and that's where a lot of our digestion takes place as well.

Wow! That is a huge appendix, I wonder how it all fits?
September 25th, 2021  
How amazing
September 25th, 2021  
That’s way longer than their height so it was twist and turn like the intestine. Lovely shot.

Cute capture.
September 25th, 2021  
Must be a buggar when they get appendicitis.
September 25th, 2021  
the look on this cutie pie face speaks volumes ............
fav

Wow thats huge but just what is needed for Koalas with their unusual digestion and diet.
September 25th, 2021
