mmmm crunchy

Yep koalas occasionally eat a little bark.
Bullet had a good feed of tallowwood, sadly I then missed him having a munch on some dirt, but got outside with the camera to catch him finishing off with some bark for a mineral top up.

Interesting. I guess it helps their digestive systems

[Mags]

Looking a little wet. Poor fella.

[Gerasimos Georg.]

another fav koala shot !

[Joanne Diochon]

I guess that's a Koala three course meal.

[Chris Cook]

Yummy. Nothing like a snack on some good bark.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great timing on this.

[Beryl Lloyd]

How interesting -- it must add to their dietary needs Being a little wet does not deter Bullet in this activity ! fav

[Shutterbug]

Does seem like an unusual thing to feed on. Maybe it cleans his teeth. Your mother says you are stranded again. Sure hope you have enough food and water this time. Stay safe.

[Esther Rosenberg]

I had no idea! great info and shot

[Milanie]

Now that's interesting!

[Ian George]

Interesting capture.

@shutterbug49 yes I only lost power for 10 hours this time, that is easy to deal with. I always have enough food, last time it was the fact that not only did I lose running water for 11 days, but even when I could get to town you could not buy water as no supplies could get into the area.
Thanks so much!

[Steve Chappell]

Cool capture and facts about the koalas. Glad this was a shorter and more manageable outage for you

[wendy frost]

Interesting capture with Bullet.Good to hear you are OK after the heavy rain.

[LManning (Laura)]

What a fascinating capture! I had no idea they do this.

[Jane Pittenger]

What a boy

[Christina]

So pleased you weren't affected too much. Great shot of a soaked bullet!

[Lisa Savill]

Oh how interesting. Great capture and info.

[Rick]

Great shot. He also looks a little wet. Glad things are back up and running.

[Diana]

Fabulous shot and timing, he still seems pretty wet!

[Valerie Chesney]

Such interesting info. Bullet actually eating the bark. Wonderful.

[Lou Ann]

Well he gets his fiber naturally for sure. Also his organic nourishment, dirt!

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful Bullet!

[Fisher Family]

Good to have fibre in the diet - a lovely shot!
