Can any amount of 'awwww' describe how cute this koala joey is?It's always nice to get to see koalas at feeding time. Since they sleep 20-22 hours a day, it is pretty much the only time that you get to see them with their eyes open. This mommy spent about 10 minutes going up and down this tree to find a good spot to rest for the afternoon. It was the most active I have ever seen a koala. Their claws must be sharp and their fingers strong as she would jump from branch to branch and never slipped on landing.
Ah, to be a koala... vaguely high on life (or at least what they eat) and able to sleep for a day at a time. *sigh
