Incredible amount of koala movement happening still, and I found this big fella chilling just inside my western boundary. Just passing through I believe...
Thank you for the awesome comments and questions on my photos.
@gardencat sure could be - this fella looks like he's been around a while too! Over the past month there have been so many new males passing through. In the whole region everyone seeing a lot of koalas on the move, so it's not something local here disturbing them.
@bruni there can only be one alpha in a colony. There are lots of males in a colony, from juveniles to low ranking adults, and they do have altercations to sort and keep the order :)
@mave with this camera I do need to get within 10 metres or so of the tree as it has great features but not the reach of my older camera. In this photo I am reasonably close and had to creep from the bike through some brush. With many photos I am not as close as I seem :)
Am fascinated by his ‘arrangement’ of both feet and right arm...and must mention the detail of his rippled coat in 3 different colours! Just splendid ;-)
@s4sayer@shutterbug49 I was trying so hard not to crack up laughing at that hands and feet arrangement, and not disturb him so I could get the photos! he was certainly feeling very relaxed - but notice he is holding on with one hand, and he was quite nicely wedged with that branch behind his back. glad you enjoyed the detail :)
