it's a classic

... koalas very frequently sleep like this, especially in winter. It conserves the most body heat. Matilda is pretty much using that thin branch at her back to hold her in place and she is around 20 metres from the ground. Classic 😊

You are just magical the way you can get these marvellous images from that far away - way down there. :)

They really are amazing contortionists.

[Shutterbug]

Looks like she has a special groove for that slim branch.

[Bill]

Looks like a Koala ball.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Rolled up in a bundle of cuteness.

[Joanne Diochon]

I wonder, do they ever check out the branch before they use it, just to make sure there is no crack in it or anything?

[Carrie Shepeard]

Great shot. She looks so cuddly.

[M. Brutus]

She looks comfy enough.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@gardencat not by looking it over, but I'm guessing that as they move along a branch they have a good idea of how solid it is

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@shutterbug49 I'm sure they shape the trees!

[Diana]

All hunkered down and wedged in, great shot of this sleeping position.

So interesting that she would pick such a skinny branch to have a sleep on. Very sweet shot.

[Harry J Benson]

So relaxed

[carol white]

She looks very snug

[Sally Ings]

She does look comfortable and not at all concerned about toppling off her slender branch.

[wendy frost]

Looking very comfortable and ready for a good sleep.

[KV]

Snoozy for sure.

[Rick]

Wow, it looks so unsafe up there like that, but guess they've conquered that. Great shot.

[Fr1da]

its amazing she can stay up there !

[Sue Cooper]

Now how can that possibly be a) comfy and b) secure?? These really are amazing animals.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm seeing these backwards in date but thinking a collage of them would really make a fun koala poster. Good shot!
