Goat eyes are horizontal.. this is much less freakish, and much more cat-like.

This reminds me of that Simpsons episode where they travel to Australia, and at the end there's the closeups of the koala clinging to the airplane.

Meg, YOU may not be ready for that kind of commitment with a koala, but I definitely am!! Send him my way, would you?

Kari

i don't think they have goat pupils... i think they are just slits because it's bright outside.

I LOVE koalas!! So cute and looking dumbstruck every time!

We used to have a small koala doll (that you wind up and it played Waltzing Matilda) that we picked up during our first trip Down Under almost 30 years ago. Had a funny musky smell, and I still smell that every time I see koala photos (and yes, Waltzing Matilda proceeds to play in my head in music box fashion).

My darling hubby and son took me to Australia for my 50th birthday, so I could live my dream of hugging a koala! Went to Featherdale Wildlife Park and hugged koalas all day long. It was heavenly!!!

Koalas are the most stuff-animal-looking mammals that I know of.

My first "teddy bear" was actually a koala bear. Have had much love for them since then.

Chanya
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 03:08 PM

Every time I see a koala I forgot how cute they were! Always a pleasant reminder.

Samantha
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 03:41 PM

Oh no! A drop bear!

Has all the font just gone really tiny for everyone else too? Or is it just me?

C.
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 04:33 PM

C - The font has gone REALLY tiny (I thought it was me--obviously 'twasn't!).

I want to kiss that precious little schnozzle!

Leilani
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:13 PM

C.-Nope, not just you.

How could you NOT commit to a Koala, for heaven's sake!! I mean...IT'S A KOALA!!!!

 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:13 PM

i can't believe it! i did a huge pencil drawing of a koala positioned just like this, on a tree with its top cut off, just like that, like 6 years ago! the picture i based it off of was different than this one--it was darker and there were more leaves. but how weird!!

erin
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:14 PM

Jan-Is a koala's fur soft? It sort of looks like a brillo pad, especially close-up.

Martha in Washington
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:17 PM

I have to admit that any time I see a koala, all I can think of is the Mitch Hedberg stand up routine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWkhmw_PLTw

If only my apartment could be infested with koalas!

De
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:17 PM

There appear to be other koalas in the background.. sigh .. a clutch of koalas? or what is it??

Mary (the first)
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:38 PM

oh and @chanpon, thanks a lot, now I have "Waltzing Matilda" running around in my brain .. make it STOPPP!

Mary (the first)
 |  Sep 03, 2008 at 05:38 PM

The collective for bears is "sloth" or "sleuth" -- I don't see one for koalas specifically...

And don't get too much closer, Meg, or we'll end up with a COXCU of the booger in his left nostril.

Well Little Koala you.. YOU.. Complete me too.!!!

Courtesy of wikipedia:

"Although taxonomically incorrect, the name Koala bear is still in use today outside Australia — its use is discouraged because of the inaccuracy in the name."

Martha - yep Koalas are soft as. well - all the ones I've met have been. unless the parks use fabric softener when we are not looking.
they were originally hunted for their fur.
I admit - that is the CUTEST koala I have EVER seen

Downunder Sugarglider--Now I have visions of Aussie Park Rangers furiously bathing their koalas in Downy each night. As the water goes down the drain in the wrong direction.
