At the end of his dinner in the wild wind, Cyrano braced himself and went into a deep sleep. You can see the leaves blowing horizontal so the wind it hitting his back and those hind legs are holding him steady, and of course he is comfortable on the cartilage plate in his lower back.
That's a day in the life of a koala I guess!
Thank you so much to everyone for the many comments and favs over the past few photos.
All the strength to remain secure high in the trees in wet or windy weather and always quietly enduring all !! I am curious , do they make any sounds ? ?
Amazing...thank you for your descriptive commentary! I remember seeing this sweet position at the end of the video. It struck me as adorable then and it does now as well...FAV!
@beryl they do make sounds
The males make a sound we call a bellow - it's amazing to hear it at night! Normally the males just rub their scent gland against a tree trunk and bellow to mark their territory.
When distressed both young males and females of all ages will scream like a woman being attacked.
Here is a video of 2 of my males having a fight - Jordan is bellowing while Legion is screaming. https://youtu.be/142OSfGwBwk
