Those sharp koala claws are literally used to hold on to the tree trunks when they can't get their arms right around them.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments yesterday taking Cyrano to the TP, I'm so pleased whenever a koala photo bring pleasure and awareness of their fragile hold on life in this world.

@hermann actually I forgot I had some video to add to this - indeed he did a true male koala scarper - he is scent marking right now, and he was rather excited about something! I'll add the video link now
