1259e Momma koala and her joey
Visited a nice wildlife park between Cairns and Port Douglas--Hartley's Crocodile Adventures. Learned a lot about the animals of Australia. We even got the chance to hold a koala-- so soft and snuggly!
Here is a snoozing koala with her joey clinging to her. They need more sleep than most animals ( 20+ hours a day) because eucalyptus leaves contain toxins and are very low in nutrition and high in fibrous matter so they take a large amount of energy to digest.
Check back to my album 2016 Australia, New Zealand and French Polynesia -- should be posting more ( almost) daily
