This little girl wondered into our yard last night. Had to call the koala rescue people to shift her to safer ground.
She is beautiful....and I have so many questions....
Tracy, thanks, ask all the questions you like, I will try to answer them. Ernie
This may sound ignorant, and well, it is....why do they need to be rescued? Is it like a black bear here, that is totally out of it's element and would be in more danger from civilization, etc?
Love to hear the answers as well...Koala Rescue...now that's a sight/vehicle I've never seen here!
A specialist for rescuing koalas from yards...totally amazing! The photos are sensational! I just finished looking at an opossum photo from USA - this international forum delights me every single day!

Tracy, there are many reasons for the need to be rescued.
1) maybe they have been injured by dogs, or bushfires.
This particular one, could have been chased out of its environment by a dog, and scampered up this tree in my yard.
There were no other trees nearby, so it could well have been run over while it was trying to get back home. The rescue people will check it over health wise the release in the nearest suitable environment. Ernie
Thanks All, for the comments.
