never miss an opportunity

to stop for a scratch ... Literally hanging by his arms, Hugo stopped for a full 20 seconds to scratch first his left, then his right leg. Doesn't sound long but my arms would have given out after 5 seconds I'm sure!
I had to create this from a still frame of video, then a bit of post processing, so it's not technically great, but content-wise is priceless

Amazing Hugo!

[Mags]

LOL! Mine would've given out after 5. Go Hugo!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Well done Hugo - showing off your physique ! fav

[gloria jones]

Agility to spare...Great shot

I've never seen a koala look so long!

[Esther Rosenberg]

cool shot

[Sue Cooper]

It’s lovely when you occasionally capture a really unusual shot like this one. Fav.

[Lesley]

Haha mine too. Awesome capture

[Joanne Diochon]

They sure do have strong muscles!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My goodness- I think he's planning to try rock climbing next!

[Louise & Ken]

I probablyu know your answer, but wonder if you ever try to interact with them. I'd have a difficult time trying to resist scratching his back for him (which would be much to myu own pleasure as well!!!)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great timing on this.

[Rick]

Great timing and capture.

@Weezilou I am about 30 metres away from this tree. if I approached closely, he would have gone right up the tree. Being able to scratch the back of a koala in the wild would likely mean it was gravely ill and needing urgent hospitalisation. not sure if that was the answer you knew you would get? 🙃

That is an extraordinary image. They stretch as well as they curl up into impossible positions.

[Diana]

What a great shot, he seems to be doing his bodybuilding exercise ;-)

[Issi Bannerman]

Fun shot of the action!

[Wylie]

priceless indeed, when you've got an itch...

[Valerie Chesney]

Hugo is a big boy & must be so strong to manage to hang on like this. Wonderful.. Fav

[Harry J Benson]

Wonderful timing

[haskar]

Great timming. What a pose!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I agree with everyone- this is wonderful! He is showing us his flexibility and strength! I see his red ear tag, too- I am glad he is back where you can keep an eye on him.
