Nice capture of the koala Lyn. Cute but fussy eaters though, refusing to eat anything but eucalyptus leaves. In the German zoos they have to import the leaves by air all the time.

Very cute image Lyn. Glad I have a different taste, as eating the same every day would be very boring to me.
Thanks for this fine post.
Regards, Cornelius.

I like how you have caught this Koala with the sunlight on its nose and also seeing that creamy bib. Lovely capture. They are so cute and you just want to pick one up and cuddle them.

It seems to be interested in something which gave you a chance to catch this pose. I like it. The presentation is good as well. Nice post Lyn.

have to be wary at mating time especially... heard the noise they make then? i thought it was a huge ferocious beast one time hearing that mating 'roar' when camping - deceptive critters, they may look fluffy, but... great shot LynEve! (btw. i am australian) :)

Great texture in this image Lyn. You can really feel his fur. I also really like the way you've caught the light in this image.
