V branches

Koala actually have a plate of cartilage across their lower back area, the same way a wombat does.
In this photo Mist is actually sitting on that area as you can see with her legs lifted up it's her lower back rather than her bum that she is on.

Lovely Mist is looking so perky -- she must have has her sleep and now is watching you ! -fav

Hello there Mist, I love your alert expression :)

[ShirleyB]

interesting information, this must account for why they often have their back legs tucked up.

@beryl @hermann @shirleybankfarm @joannakate @rickster549 @gilbertwood @paulaw @elisasaeter I can't help myself but add some koala facts to the photos, so I'm always happy when your comments show that you appreciate them :)
Paula I agree, the forest red gums are quite stunning trees - notice how the trunk colours are exact matches for koala colours ... I love that little bit of interest :)

Hello, Mist! This picture gives me a smile!

[Margaret Snell]

Great shot, Mist certainly seems alert and watching you. More interesting information, I will soon be a koala expert.
