Not all the koalas on the property will calmly look directly into my eyes like Legion. Thank you for the many lovely comments on my photos. Glad you all enjoyed the goanna with me!
At first sight I thought he was looking into a mirror. After reading your description, re looking into your eyes, I could see why. He looks like a wise old man.
Such a beautiful face - I wonder what is he thinking as he gazes back at you ! ( and what power has he to think as I suppose a lot of their actions and development is through Koala instinct ) !!
@vignouse ah Richard, indeed. And it is the key to my work - I use nose pattern recognition to identify the koalas for my daily recordings. It is the only reliable way I have found to identify :) well spotted!
