---Usually they are asleep when I am there.---

Must have had a very good reason to be awake now, Jimbob, lol.

Very cute and adorable critter, captured very well.

Regards, Cornelius.

Maybe it has problems and can't sleep. LOL But it looks very sleepy, any moment now. Great shot, Jim.

It's very cute, but it's naughty. If it passed bed time, it should sleep. LOL

If you looked Cuddle up in the dictionary you would see:

cud·dle (kdl)
v. cud·dled, cud·dling, cud·dles
v.tr.
To fondle in the arms; hug tenderly. See Synonyms at caress.
v.intr.
To nestle; snuggle.
n.
The act of cuddling; a hug or embrace.

A wonderful shot.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun

Looks very cute but you have to be careful because they can bite and scratch. Very nice capture Jimbob.

That's pretty interesting, Jimbob...

From what I hear you have pretty much the same effect on people. You show up, they fall asleep.

The camera is magic in your hands at the Ohio zoos. You seem to specialize in eyes. The detail is exquisite as always. You know you have a sharp image when you can count the ingrown hairs inside his left eyeball. Yet another zoo beauty. A solid 8 in today's VB.

Koalas sleep up to 19hours a day.
You were lucky to find him awake. Great shot!

Fine shot of this little Koala. They are so cute but really do smell of the eucalyptus when you get close.

This little fella looks like a baby, a sleepy baby. They are so cute and this is a super shot, Jimbob. I think you got a lot of good ones at the zoo that day.
