They are adorable. How do they hang on and not fall out of a tree?

This lovely creature was photographed at the Koala Park in West Pennant Hills, Sydney. You can get some quite good shots of Koalas there.

Fabulous! The only time we get to see Koalas is in a zoo (of course) but they have to be in an environmentally-controlled climate (temperature, humidity, etc.), so it is all glass-enclosed. But at least we do get to see them and I am happy for that. Thank you for sharing this picture.

Lydd_Nel says:

they always sit like this ... usually they are sitting/sleeping at the
middle "v" branch, i think they seldom fall off the branch when they sleep ... sweet dreams ... and when i was visiting Australia, heard from the local guide, they are easily under stress. (for us tourist) We can only touch the butt of a koala, in order not to stress them further.
so i touch as instructed, then he shitted. haha ....

= ) thanks for sharing this lovely fella !
