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.

Drop Bear (koalas eucalypti leapus): A rare Australian tree dwelling marsupial known to attack gullible tourists by dropping from large gum trees and slashing their victims with razor sharp claws. Beware, the drop bear!

Based on a photo emailed from a friend. Lou Lou lives in a wooden drey (nest) on a balcony three storys up, where she is treated to slices of apple and banana. There is a tree adjacent to the balcony, through which she “bounds with terrifying abandon from branch to branch like a spring loaded rocket”. ...............................................

Steve’s_Biography 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.

This Koala had obviously had enough traveling, so decided to stop and sit in the middle of the road to Lake Elizabeth, in the Great Otway National Park. Fortunately it is not a very busy road and It did move on eventually.

The Thylacine – “Thylacinus cynocephalus” , Tasmanian Tiger, Marsupial Wolf or as it is fondly called where I come from – The Nannup Tiger….is one of Australia’s most intriguing biological ironies. / Supposedly only existing on the island of Tasmania, these amazing creatures – a seeming blend of carnivous wolf and kangaroo, were hunted to extinction in the days of early settlement because they were blamed for killing livestock. The last known thylacine died in a Hobart zoo in 1936. / However, the truth is, they have also existed on mainland Australia, and they still do. These marsupials, like a medium sized dog, with trademark stripes, carry their young in a backward opening pouch. Like a kangaroo, they use their long stiff tail and hind legs to take off, gaining speed, before dropping their front legs to the ground to run like a cat. Many sightings have referred to them as cougars or panthers, as thylacines appear in many colours including black or grey and at times without stripes. To date, there has been no significant proof of their existence, and the fact remains that their extinct status is a harsh lesson to humanity, that we wield a terrible power over the creatures of this earth, and our insensitive treatment of them leads to greater loss than gain. / But, there have been countless sightings of the thylacine, and / documentations of their existence over the years, yet to date, no hard evidence has surfaced, except the credibility of those who know. / My Father is one such person – finding this amazing creature in a kangaroo snare when he was a boy (and naturally no one cared back in the early 1930s!) captured his interest and he became a total believer who has spent his life to date trying to REprove their existence. His lifetime of knowledge has lead to the publication of a book (“The Haunt of the Marsupial Wolf” – reprinted many times over) and participation in many televised documentaries, including in recent years, an AnimalX show for Foxtel discovery channel. / Having grown up with this awareness, I am just as intrigued by the existence of our most elusive marsupial. I too have seen the “tiger” on a number of occasions, frequently see its five toed footprints (dogs have four toes).... and even as recent as last week, heard it screaming outside my house (not a nice sound on a cold dark night, I can tell you…..!) During winter is the time they seem to go out calling, looking for a mate, and most winters we have nights where we can hear their chilling screams as they wander from the state forest through the cover of thick scrub. So I walk most days, always with my camera in hand, and wait for that magic opportunity to prove its existence. Yet somehow, I also feel that to do so, to end the argument once and for all, would also destroy a valuable lesson for humanity…. and place the tiger back in the spotlight where it would be endangered once again. The question for me, and quite a lot of others I know, is do we really WANT the world to know of its status, or whereabouts? Perhaps the Thylacine knows that its greatest protection is the air of mystery and unknown, that haunts its footsteps on this Earth and we should honour that and just let it be.

Brush-tailed Possum is donated to the Wildlife_Appeal_Group for the wildlife victims of the Victorian Bushfires. All of the proceeds will go to WRAP (Wildlife Rescue And Protection Incorporated) ========================================================= Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Brush-tailed possums are marsupials, and their young are usually born in May and June after a gestation period of 17 days. The newborn possum finds its way to the mother’s pouch and attaches itself to a teat. After feeding and growing for about five months in the pouch, the young possum spends another two months clinging to its mother’s back as she moves about. Usually only one young is born at a time, and males do not take part in looking after the young. By the time they are seven months old, the young possums are independent of their mothers. They are fully grown by about 10 months, and the females will usually start to breed for the first time when they reach 12 months of age. The brush-tailed possum is the most widely distributed possum in Australia. It can be found in forests and woodlands all along the east coast, and also lives in inland areas along tree-lined rivers and creeks. A nocturnal animal, it is active at night and usually spends the day sleeping. Canon PowerShot A650 IS / 12.1MP – 6x Optical Zoom – 4x Digital Zoom
