Koalas are not bears—they’re marsupials. Learn about koalas’ unique traits, including six opposable "thumbs,"downward-facing pouches, and a tendency to sleep nearly all day in tree branches.
Formerly killed in huge numbers for their fur, especially during the 1920s and ’30s, koalas dwindled in number from several million to a few hundred thousand. In the southern part of their range, they became practically extinct except for a single population in Gippsland, Victoria in Australia. Some were translocated onto small offshore islands, especially Phillip Island, where they did so well that these koalas were used to restock much of the original range in Victoria and southern New South Wales, Australia.

Koalas are only awake for a short time each day so it's not always easy to get a photo with their eyes open. So one eye open is still pretty good.

Koalas are found in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. They have grey fur with a cream-coloured chest, and strong, clawed feet, perfect for living in the branches of trees! They don’t have much energy and, when not feasting on leaves, they spend their time dozing in the branches. Believe it or not, they can sleep for up to 18 hours a day!
They are only awake for a couple of hours each day so it is a bonus to get them with their eyes open

Koalas typically inhabit open Eucalyptus woodland, as the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet. Their eucalypt diet has low nutritional and caloric content and contains toxins that deter most other mammals from feeding on it. Koalas are largely sedentary and sleep up to twenty hours a day; I caught this cool Koala when it was taking a well earned nap.
They were very, very high…
But I was so lucky that day! I don't even have the merit of the find… I was already driving out of the car park, in Bulocky Rest Park, when I have seen two young woman, looking up and very excited. I immediately thought that it was a koala. I "threw" the car to the side of the road and I ran to join them. And there it was this mom koala with her baby. First, the cub was on a near branch, but it must have been a little frightned by the audience and looked for mom's protection.

North Stradbroke Island is situated across the bay from Brisbane.The exact size of the koala population there is unknown but thought to be at least 300 strong and hopefully closer to 1000. Koalas there have been faring better than on the mainland and let's hope this continues. I usually see at least one each time I visit. A wonderful sight.

Going on with my Leftovers series. This little guy never made it into my previous animal portrait series in 2019. Don't know why. But now he's here. Hope you like it.
There's more on www.chm-photography.com.
Enjoy!
Male Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) relaxing in a tree in the Australia Outback habitat of the San Diego Zoo.
Male koalas have a dark, often oily patch on their chest called a scent gland. This gland is used to mark their territory by rubbing it on trees and branches, leaving their scent for other koalas. It's a key feature for identifying male koalas, particularly during breeding season when the gland becomes more prominent and active.
San Diego is famous for having the largest koala colony as well as the most successful koala breeding program outside of Australia. Conservation status: Vulnerable

The Koala joey stays with his mum for about 1 year (6 months in her pouch and 6 months riding on her back)
Koalas spend about 20 hours sleeping every day and are only active in the night.

Christmas Lights
Poem by Emily Krauss
Christmas Lights
Shiny and Bright
You decorate Christmas Trees,
You decorate houses.
And you can be found
In the fireplace
Glowing away
Christmas Lights
You brighten up my night
Every year
In the month of December
Inside and outside
Christmas Lights
You're a joy
To see
Every Christmas season
