Susan Grissom
he is soooo cute!
Elaine van Dyk replied
Yes, they are cute, but frustratingly very inactive most of the time! Thank you for commenting, Susan.
AnitaInverarity
Wonderful Elaine- love the colour sheen (such a cutie) xx
Elaine van Dyk replied
Thanks, Anitainverarity – you are very kind, and as always, very encouraging.
Barry Norton
Stunning shot, cute and beautiful
Elaine van Dyk replied
Hi Barry, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much.
Bernd Jansons
What a great shot! Brilliant, Elaine.
Elaine van Dyk replied
I’m pleased you like this shot, Bernd, and I appreciate you taking time to comment. As you know, they don’t exactly strike interesting poses. It’s hard to get them looking at all animated. But this one was hungry for those juicy, young leaves, so my luck for a bit of action!
Solomon Walker
very fantastic closeup image!
Elaine van Dyk replied
Thanks, Solomon – much appreciated.
hugo
lovely work, but your model either had a bad hair day or a fright!!!
Elaine van Dyk replied
Ha, ha, ha, ha…....it probably looks like my hair in the mornings! Thanks for the encouragement with this photograph – I really appreciate your feedback.
MaryO
He/she looks very vivid, wich is indeed very rare with these lay back aussies.
Great catch.
Elaine van Dyk replied
It is in fact a very young and pregnant “She”. How well you understand the Aussie way of life, MaryO! I love your comparison to these little citizens.

Must be the month for koalas!!! This gorgeous little guy isn’t very old. Bet Healesville Sanctuary is an amazing place :D Fantastic photo, btw, captured such a brilliant expression!!!
Elaine van Dyk replied
Thanks georgiegirl. Yes, that expression says, “I just gotta get those leaves, I just gotta!”
Karin Taylor
he’s a beautiful creature…...you got so close!
Elaine van Dyk replied
Karin, thanks once again for the time you take to comment. It’s always appreciated.
Krys Bailey
Aw bless! What a cutie!
Elaine van Dyk replied
Thanks, Krys. Yes, the are rather cute, though not the most energetic – but then who would be if Eucalyptus leaves were the staple diet!
ILZEcee
Very cute, seems different to other koalas – a youngie, or baby??
Elaine van Dyk replied
Thank you for visiting my site, ILZEcee. I believe this is a young female koala.
