picked clean

This was very late afternoon with a lot of cloud cover, hence the washed out look to the sky. This little bit of video on you tube shows how windy it was:

Clinger has been busy today pretty much picking this young forest red gum tree clean.
Wow, a fabulous silhouette, Clinger looks too heavy for that small tree. Watched the video, Oh, my, that tree is stronger than it looks, Big Fav.

Great shot, It's amazing how the tree can support his weight. I watched the video and you would think the tree was going to snap at any moment with his weight.

Goodness, he's eaten everything around him, and is now in a very exposed spot!

Oh my, that is a lump of a koala on such a spindly branch. Hold on Ginger !!! :)

I think I see the rare koala fruit growing up there...

Wow, I am amazed that the tree branches haven't snapped.

I guess he left enough leaves on the tree for it to garner a little energy from the sun to grow a new batch :)
One does have to wonder how it supported him, especially in the wind!
thank you all for enjoying, commenting and giving favs getting this to the TP once again. I love 365!

Amazing capture I agree he looks too heavy for the branch to support him but it obviously does!

good capture, great video; I enjoyed seeing Koalas at Cleland Wildlife Park when we visited Australia

Quite amazing! "Clinger" is so appropriate!

thank you all so much :
@thistle @hjbenson @dmcoile Clinger certainly has proven to be the perfect name for him!

Oh boy! I agree with everyone who said Clinger seems too heavy for the tree branches, but the tree is strong! (If you were a cat, Clinger, we'd be calling you "Clinger-get-down-from-there"!)
