home tree

koalas each have their own patch of territory (that overlaps with others) call a home range. and in this area they have their own favourite trees we call home trees. this is Egwenes home tree

Such a happy looking koala in the home tree ! fav

[Desi]

Oh wow, that is so interesting. And even more interesting that their territories overlap. What a lovely image

@seacreature yes they live in colonies, but each koala has it's own range in that area. the size of the alpha's range denotes the size of the colony :)

I love all the bits of info you pass on - fabulous shot

[winghong_ho]

Lovely capture.

[Diana]

How amazing, so much we do not know about them yet. Lovely shot and interesting info.

[Maggiemae]

I daresay he can smell the difference. Charming photo!

[Dawn]

A sweet image

[Nada]

No place like home 😊
I did not know that about koalas.

[Boxplayer]

Always look like they're sticking their tongues out.

[Annie D]

Aww
I understand koalas are fussy and selective about their leaf choice

[Kitty Hawke]

Awww....such an interested little face.

[Valerie Chesney]

Egwenes special tree..

[Babs]

Really interesting information didn't know that. I love Egwene's ears

[Wylie]

she's got you pegged straight between the eyes, stay out of her tree!

[Christine Sztukowski]

All living creatures have a place called home.

[Karen]

Interesting information! And a lovely shot.

[Mags]

Such a lovely little face!

[Renee Salamon]

Such a cutie

[Chris Cook]

Interesting information. Do they mark their trees or does the rest of the colony just know which tree belongs to who.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

So sweet.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Beautiful Egwene! She seems to be looking right at you!

[Milanie]

A real nice close-up

[Fisher Family]

[Joanne Diochon]

She looks very content there.

[Sue Cooper]

Such interesting information and I love how Egwene is hugging his/her home tree in this shot.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@cdcook48 great question - yes indeed they do mark the trees! males and females mark with urine. koalas actually smell everything as they move around, rather like you watch a dog move through a setting outside home and smell everything as they go

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Rob Z]

He's so cute!

[haskar]

Sweet shot.
