Luna has been here for 2 days in a row now, no Phoenix in sight. Crossing my fingers she's going to stay here now! I have to say, she really has her grandmothers expressions (Racee).
I was really sure I could hear a female koala shrieking like they do when a male is pushing his advances. I just couldn't find them as when I heard it, it was quite a distance away.
Next morning, here was Luna, and not too far away (50m or so maybe, with no line of sight through many trees) I ended up finding Bullet.
So I'm thinking I did hear what I thought, and maybe Phoenix has said - look hon, it's time you just lay low and eat up, mum's got things to do now ...
With the gorgeous new juvenile on the other side of the property, I'm feeling like lockdown stay at home orders have never been easier!
@gardencat I think so on Hugo. And that has allowed Bullet to start moving all through his area. I've only seen him near the house a few times in the past couple of months. All the girls are in the area Hugo used to rule .... 😊
How sweet is this little one? And the rest of the world around her is one koala soap opera episode after another! hehe Well, I guess we can say as they often do on the soaps... to be continued... Nice shot!
@sianharrison I'm hopeless at names! mostly my FB followers name them, there is a big vote on now for the new girl. Luna however was named by Luke who got her out of the lemon tree with me recently, I told him he should have the right to name her after her mum bit him quite solidly 😂
no, koalas in the wild would be highly unlikely to eat an apple. I have seen a video of a captive koala eating one, but to be honest, their gut biome is so specialised I don't think it is something that would happen often or in great amount. probably it took a couple of nibbles, on film, and now the world thinks they all eat them 🤗😂🐨
Luna is very expressive.
