Suddenly Newman decided it was time to move and in a fluid motion he simply rose on his feet, reached above his head, grabbed the trunk and sprang up and away. There you go, a koala belly :)
Thank you for the awesome questions and comments on my photos, I try to be sure and answer every one. Always poke me if I miss one as it will be unintentional :)
@fbailey oh yes, it produces a thick, oily, musk substance - very smelly :) you can just see a nice little scent gland budding at the top of his chest :)
@gardencat thanks Joanne - that's totally typical marking to have that marked V. The only individual thing is the few small dots of brown in the white area - kind of like his own bit of uniqueness to the koala pattern :)
Can’t say I have ever seen this before but oh the things we learn and see with 365 !! Love it - you are doing some amazing work—- have told friends to follow you on FB
