Koalas are one of Australia’s well known marsupials. They are just as friendly and cuddly as they look too…. unless you get them on a bad day! Of course, like all wild animals, you need to watch out for their strong claws as they’re a tad sharp.

click feature buttons to view group/challenge / — / Koalas are at home at Cape Otway and as you drive in to, and out of, the lighthouse grounds there are many koalas in trees…and on the road! I snapped this mother carrying her baby after we nearly ran over them when we pulled over so I could get out and take shots of koalas in trees! I hadn’t seen koalas in the wild since I was a kid, so I was so excited…that I forgot to pay attention to framing or depth of field or anything technical (hence the massive crop…). The koalas along this stretch of road must be used to stopping traffic because after this shot was taken, she crossed the road, stopped in the middle of the road, posed (yes, posed, like in this picture!) for a few photos before running into the scrub. So, this was part of our road trip from Melbourne to Darwin via the Great Ocean Road and the red centre. This was about the seventh day I had my new DSLR (Nikon D90 – Tamron 17-50mm 2.8). UPDATED PIC: have adjusted the levels for sharper image. — / Other images taken in the Cape Otway Grounds / Click images to view / - / N.B. The feature logo was prepared by me but inspired by a design originally done by Natalie Perkins / -

Featured Australian Wildlife 22/07/09 The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupial which averages about 9kg (20lb) in weight. Its fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. / / The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink” because it receives over 90% of its hydration from the Eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves. ie during droughts etc. The koala is the only mammal, other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. /

Of the remaining 20% almost none is protected and most occurs on privately-owned land. Settlers favoured the rich fertile lands along the eastern seaboard to have their farms and urban developments. Unfortunately, this is where the majority of koalas were already living because they also like to live in trees which are growing in fertile soils. The main causes of loss of habitat include: LAND CLEARING Clearing of the land for expansion of human settlement eg:- / agriculture, housing, mining, forestry,factories and roads. / The results of this would include:- / · loss of habitat / · increased disturbance by humans / · injury or death from traffic / · injury or death from dogs and cats / · effects of garden pesticides getting into waterways / · increased competition for food and territory because of overcrowding / · increased stress on animals, making them more susceptible to disease. / It has also been documented that over 4000 koalas are killed each year by dogs and cars. It easy to see that the biggest threat to the Koala population is the human.

Oh my! I was attending the opening ceremony of our new Gateway to Wollongong ceremony this morning where these two cute Aussies from Symbio animal park were the stars. I had taken lots of photo’s, but decided on one last one before I left. Imagine my delight when they decided the show their love for one another right as I took aim. This is what right place right time is all about. / I edited out the background in photoshop as it was a glass window with lots of people refelected in it which really detracted from this cute pair / Taken with my Canion 40DSLR camera / f stop/8 / aperture-1/100 / ISO-400 / focal length -33 mm / Thanks for visiting

Not break and enter as front door was open. I am calling the series … The Koala Caper / My belief is that this expression is one of smugness!!
