Koala near my observatory

This little fella has been in a nearby tree to my observatory.

Cute eh?

That's a nice mature animal. Well spotted.

A word of caution. Keep an eye on it and if it seems to linger in the same tree for more than 2 or at the most 3 days, there is cause for concern. That would suggest the possibility of a seriously ill koala. We had that experience recently and had to call in an animal rescue group to help capture it and have it treated. Turns out the animal was female and had bad cystitis and had to be put down. So keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

Nice. Can you see him with the scope?

[gregbradley]

Good to know. He was still there this morning and was there Wed. His fur does look a little scruffy.




Hehe no.
