Aaaw!!! He's really cute H&J!!! And it's nice to see that he's already feeding himself.

It's so sad to hear that this iconic species is so under threat and hope that something can be done to help them.

Many thanks for sharing this lovely image with us guys.

Not many here in the Redlands now Hans with all of the development . Had a large Gum Tree outside our property when we first moved here with up to five Koalas feeding in it. The Gum Tree is no longer here and neither are the Koalas.
