sleeping koala


Look at our cute little buddy fast asleep after his afternoon snack of eucalyptus leaves, some hand picked by us! We just pulled off the road (jan 16th at Kennett River on the Great Ocean Road) and there he was, right in the wild--much lower down in the tall eucalylps than koalas usually are. A typical day consists of eating, then a lot of sleep, followed by more eating.

Sad thing is right now with all the bush fires, there's lots of koalas being burned in their trees and kangaroos with burnt paws from hopping through embers. : (
