Koala from Australia
Apr 8, 2013 05:38:08 #
Koalas eat a specific species of eucalypt leaves that ferment in their stomach. Consequently they sleep a lot from the alcohol generated, so getting a shot of them 'sober' is rare. My lucky day. This shot was taken last week at the Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo in New South Wales Australia. Hope you like. C&C welcome.
Sober Koala!

Funny you should say that, as I had the feeling this particular Koala was 'there for me'. It was too pat to be otherwise. Glad you liked! Thank you.

Excellent photo of the Koala... :)
Thank you Tom! Have been concerned about the leaves on it's face. But I should know after 40 years of trying to get a 'perfect' photo of a Koala is a dream!

I don't know about that. What I do know is that it would be great NOT to have to go to the liquor store. On the other hand, being perpetually pissed has to have a downside! Now where's my drink ha ha!

great shot.If you want to take the leaves out ,use the band aid tool in photoshop or content aware.Both tools do a pretty good job .

Thank you GWR100. You are probably aware that these are iconic and uniquely Australian animals. A celebrated occasion occurred some years ago where one of them pissed on a grandstanding politician. Koalas 1, politicians 0! Love 'em!
