A Furry Friend

[Runmonty]

Normally we dont see too many Koalas in the wild where I live (although we sometimes hear them as they make a loud grunting noise at night). Having said that, we have seen 2 in the past month.

Here is one I saw today less than 1km from my home.

Aaaw, you woke him from his nap. He's a cutie.

Thanks Q1 - actually he was awake when I got there and I think he got bored of us watching him so went off to sleep. Pretty much all they do is eat and sleep.
