His name certainly fits him like a glove.
Try on black if you can. He is a really calm fella too - probably knows no one would mess with him :)
Thank you for the beautiful support here at my happy place.
@elatedpixie so good to see you Phyl!!!!! thank you so much, what a horror story it's been over here. We are all safe still, sometimes I can hardly believe that.
@jgpittenger he does! But I strongly suspect he is only about 3 years old. I wish I could tell, but you can only tell by checking the wear on the molar teeth - not recommended on an awake koala!
@kwind I suspect he is young because of how he looked last year and how he arrived and some bahaviours
The alpha male here is at least 8 years old - so it will depend on whether there are big confrontations as Hugo hits full maturity next year or not. that will be the biggest influence on if he stays around :) They can live up to around 16 but average 10 - 12 years

He's big but he also looks quite wise to me- but as I've read above I'm pretty sure if he's young the wisdom has not kicked in just yet! Love this shot!
@koalagardens I'm astounded at what's been happening especially in your beautiful part of the world. I will admit, it's kept me a little shy of here for fear my heart would be broken. I'm so grateful that you and your wonderful fur crew are doing well.
I'm going to make a concerted effort to shoot more with my canons - my oly needs it's sensor cleaned anyway :-)
