don't poke the bear

this photo was literally 4 seconds previous to yesterday's photo according the time stamp from the camera - you can see why the left side of her face was about as dishevelled as Matilda ever gets 🙃

[Michelle]

I will never understand how they manage to sleep like they do!

[Mags]

Looking cozy!

[Jacqueline]

Brilliant!

[Diana]

Fantastic shot!

[Sally Ings]

Squished in. Not sure if I would consider that position as comfortable.

[Poppo Livy]

Wish I could sleep like that instead of being up at 4:30 every morning

[mittens (Marilyn)]

She looks really comfy.

[Richard Sayer]

Don't poke the bear... Katrina?

[Milanie]

Out for the winter!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@vignouse haha did you see the photo of her yesterday 4 seconds after this when she suddenly woke?

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great shot of the sleeping beauty !

[Richard Sayer]

@koalagardens But you called her a bear...!?

[Shutterbug]

Is their respiration extremely low when they sleep? I totally don’t know how there is any room for lung expansion when they curl up like that.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@vignouse ummmm yes it was just a fun pun intended, even though we don't have any bears of any kind in Australia we say 'don't poke the bear' 🤣

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@shutterbug49 good question! they seem to keep breathing, but yeah it probably makes them sleep even more deeply depriving them of O2 and building up CO2 - no wonder they look like they do when they wake 🤣🤣

[Margo Sayer]

Almost re-arranged features!

[Dixie Goode]

Sweet.

[gloria jones]

@linenandspice @lisasavill wedged in, out like a light, and then very surprised I was right there (though I'm still quite a distance away from her of course)
