Koala hands are quite dextrous. https://youtu.be/TDunIJZEXDY for the full detail.
To get from one tree to another, Bullet actually grabbed this thin bit of branch, pulled it closer, and climbed across! I accidentally had my camera on macro mode and took this, then hit video but it failed because it couldn't focus. But the time I corrected he was across and I had to be content to film from there. Ugh I'd just finished photographing the ornamental ginger and totally forgot. In this photo he was only a couple of feet above my head.
@gardencat I can't describe how it was for me - fumbling with my camera and thinking, holy crap Bullet don't do that you are way too heavy for this to work!!!! yet he did it! it was way riskier than I ever expected to see.
did you know, just a fun fact, the reason they look so tubby is that hey have 2 metres of caecum (appendix) wrapped up in that belly, always full of leaves and multi billions of bacteria?
@dustyloup yes, eucalyptus would kill almost every other mammal so it's no wonder their digestive system is so different :) thanks for enjoying - they are a wonder
