Album Info:

This was a rare day at the zoo. For once, the koala was AWAKE! And moving! This particular photo is of a female koala. Taken 09-10-06 Would bear-like have been more appropriate? I give! The Koala is NOT a bear. But so often referred to one. My blunder! I stand corrected. :)

    • we Aussies care if our animals/marsupials are named incorrectly. They have NO relationship what so ever to a bear! It is a good photo though & I do hope that the caption can be corrected in the VERY near future.

    • The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a thickset arboreal marsupial herbivore native to Australia, and the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae. The Koala is found all along the eastern coast of Australia from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula, and as far into the hinterland as there is enough rainfall to support suitable forests. The Koalas of South Australia were largely exterminated during the early part of the 20th century, but the state has since been repopulated with Victorian stock. The Koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia. So, actually, the koala is not a bear! So, this is a rare photo indeed. Thanks for the download! Please forgive me for going on and on, but most people do think they are bears.

    • What a sweet picture! And although they aren't bears, that is a commonly accepted title. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pic.

    • Comments are correct - they are not bears, they are nocturnal and they do not drink - ever! Generally well behaved, they almost always pee on politicians! We love them, and we still call them bears!

    • Very sweet photo. I think they must be mostly nocturnal because i can only remember them sleeping as well.
