telltale

This follows on from photo 'barely on a limb'
Beside Jordan's head you can clearly the claw marks in the trunk of the tree.

A common method used for attempting to determine if koalas are using an area - searching for these telltale claw marks and then for scat under the tree :)
As you might imagine my trees are covered in these claw marks!

They must have very strong claws to be able to grip because the trunks look very smooth.

I'll know to look out for claw marks next time I'm in an area with koalas :)
I love Jordan's expression too!

THANKS - this made the PP and the TP!
Alia, do keep your eye out, once you have seen them they are really easy to identify. Their claws are incredible really - very long and strong and they often leap up a sheer trunk. When a mum does it with a joey on her back it's heart stopping!

[Chris K]

I've seen how fast they can climb and when I see their droppings on my driveway I know theyve been visiting

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Hello up there, Jordan! You have picked a good strong branch to sit in the sun!

[Margaret Snell]

Love the way Jordan is looking down at you. what a lot of claw marks, it seems a wonder that the trees survive
