Koalas are the only non-primate to have fingerprints - it's rare that I get a photo where you can see them. Thank you for the lovely comments on my photos, it is so enjoyable to be here with you all.
A super close-up of that foot -- you can see the prints . Those magnificent nails look so strong while the thumb looks so powerless in comparison . What is the main purpose of the thumb and has it become nail less through evolution ! .
@carole_sandford yes, you will notice little punctures in the trees beside koalas in my photos :) This photo too is Krissy the little joey, the adult claws are particularly impressive!
