Resting Koala

One of Australia’s most striking animals, the koala or inaccurately ‘koala bear’ (Phascolarctos cinereus), is bear-like in appearance, but in fact a tree-dwelling marsupial, related to kangaroos and wombats.
The Koala has many nicknames, include bangaroo, New Holland sloth, cullawine, and koolawong.
The fur is silver grey to light brown, being lighter and shorter in the warmer north of its range, where the koala is also smaller. An adult male koala can weigh 8 to 14 kg and a female 5 to 11 kg, the body length is 60 to 85 cm. Koalas have sharp claws which help them climb trees and large noses that are coloured pink or black.
Koalas live in the eucalyptus woodlands and forests of eastern and south-eastern Australia and range from northern Queensland to southwestern Victoria. They have been introduced in western Australia and nearby islands.
Koalas are nocturnal marsupials famous for spending most of their lives asleep in trees. During the day they doze, tucked into forks or nooks in the trees, sleeping for up to 20 hours. When not asleep a koala feeds on eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their moisture from these leaves. In Aborigine language, the word ‘koala’ means ‘no water’.
This picture was taken in Zoo Duisburg, Germany.

De koala of buidelbeer (Phascolarctos cinereus) is een buideldier uit de familie koala's (Phascolarctidae) die voorkomt in het oosten van Australië. De koala is geen beer, maar een buideldier, nauw verwant aan de kangoeroes. Vandaar ook de bijnaam: Bangaroo.
De naam "Koala" komt uit een uitgestorven aboriginaltaal die rond Sydney werd gesproken. Het zou zoiets betekenen als "drinkt niet", verwijzend naar het feit dat de koala zelden drinkt.
Het mannetje weegt zo'n 12 kg, het vrouwtje 8 kg. Ze worden ongeveer 60 à 85 cm lang. In het noordelijke verspreidingsgebied wegen koala's bijna de helft minder. Zuidelijke koala's hebben een dikkere vacht dan die in het warmere noorden. De kleuren van de vachten variëren sterk per individu en worden lichter naarmate koala's ouder worden, maar de meeste zijn grijs met wit op de kin, borst, voorpoten en romp. Koala's hebben een korte staart, die geen functie lijkt te hebben.
Koala's komen voor in de eucalyptusbossen van de vier oostelijke deelstaten van Australië, Queensland, Nieuw-Zuid-Wales, Victoria en Zuid-Australië.
Koala's eten bijna uitsluitend bladeren van de eucalyptusboom. De bladeren zijn vezelrijk en bevatten gif dat voor de meeste andere dieren gevaarlijk is. Ze drinken bijna niet. Vocht wordt uit het voedsel gehaald. Omdat koala's een langzaam vertering hebben, slapen koala's zo'n 20 uur per etmaal, vaak in een boom.
Deze foto is gemaakt in Zoo Duisburg in Duitsland.

Slow Down and Enjoy Life

Hadn't been to the San Diego Zoo in over 20 years. Enjoyed a great visit there and had to swing by to say hello to the koala bears. So many different "mottos" came to mind it was hard to choose just one, runner ups included: Less Worry...More Sleep, I'm a Professional Tree Hugger, and I Enjoy Koalaty Naps.

Paddington and Scout Wish Katy Koala a Happy Australia Day by raaen99

Paddington and Scout Wish Katy Koala a Happy Australia Day

Paddy and Scout are visiting Katy Kola, who lives in the gum tree we planted on the nature strip outside our house for her to live in.

KATY KOALA: *Munches gum leaves contentedly.*

PADDY: "Happy Australia Day, Katy!"

SCOUT: "Yes, Happy Australia Day Miss Katy!"

KATY KOALA: *Stops munching gum leaves.* "Oh why thank you Paddy and Scout!"

SCOUT: "We thought that as an Australian ma... mar... marsup..."

PADDY: "Marsupial, Scout?" *Helpful.*

SCOUT: "As an Australian native, we thought we should wish you a happy Australia Day. Miss Katy!"

KATY KOALA: "That is very thoughtful of you, Scout. Would you two care to join me for an Australia Day tea party?"

SCOUT: "A tea party!" *Excited.*

PADDY: "Why thank you, dear Katy."

SCOUT: "What are you serving with the tea? Shortbreads? Caramel fudge? Grumbly tummy Miss Katy! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*

KATY KOALA: *Giggles.* "Oh no, Scout! Something much better than shortbreads or caramel fudge!"

PADDY: "Daddy's shortbreads are pretty hard to beat on a deliciousness scale, Katy."

SCOUT: "What could be more delicious than shortbreads or caramel fudge, Miss Katy?"

KATY KOALA: "Well, you see I’m not particularly keen on shortbreads or caramel fudge, so I’ll be serving these gum leaves instead." *Holds up gum leaves. "These ones are especially sweet and juicy because they are young and fresh. Here try some.” *Holds them out for Paddy and Scout to try.*

SCOUT and PADDY: *Nibble tentatively at a bit of gum leaf each.*

PADDY: “Oh dear!” *Sticks out cute little bear tongue.* “These gum leaves they..."

KATY KOALA: "Yes?"

PADDY: "Well, they taste… err... that is to say that from my perspective...”

KATY KOALA: "Yes?"

SCOUT: “They taste yucky!” *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.* “They taste yucky Miss Katy, even more yucky than prunes! Blagh!” *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue again.*

PADDY: “Scout!"

SCOUT: "It's true Paddy!" *Nods seriously as he screws up his muzzle in distaste. "And Daddy says that we must always tell the truth!"

PADDY: "I know, but... well there is such a thing as decorum." *Shakes head in disapproval.*

SCOUT: "Who cares about decorum! Those gum leaves taste yucky, Paddy! Blagh!” *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue again.*

PADDY: "Well, thank you so much for the invitation, Katy, but I think we may stick to our own Australia Day tea party with shortbreads and Krówki Polish creamy fudge for our elevenses.”

KATY KOALA: “Goody! More for me then! Grumbly tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Scout!” *Proceeds to munch on gum leaves contentedly.*

PADDY: “Hullo everyone and everybear! Do you know what? Today, the 26th of January is Australia Day: Australia's national day! Now for many people and bears, it is a day of celebration and tea parties and fun as we celebrate the joy of living in such a beautiful and wonderful country with unique flora and fauna - like Katy who is not a bear, but an Australian marsupial, which is an animal that carries its babies in a pouch. However, for some others, Australia Day is not a day that represents happiness. If you are celebrating Australia Day today, happy Australia Day! If however you are not, whilst we are not political bears, we are diplomatic and we respect that too, and we would like to wish you a lovely Sunday anyway!"

My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.

He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.

Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.

Katy Koala is a special guest, who was going to live with one of my goddaughters some years ago, but I became rather attached to her, so she never made it there, and instead took up residence in the gum tree we planted the same year she came to live with us. The profits raised from her purchase go towards preserving native habitat for koalas.

Time to Send Some Christmas Cheer!

For anyone who follows my photostream, you might be aware I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some wonderfully artistic and creative friends. This includes my very dear friend Maria who creates some truly beautiful and amazing cards from recycled paper and cardboard.

These are just a small selection of Maria's cards I have at my disposal. Several of these have been designed for particular friends of mine, and even use pieces of Christmas wrapping that they have used to package gifts to me in Christmases past. I have sent or given these to my special friends this festive season.

If you want to see more of Maria’s work, visit her Instagram page at: www.instagram.com/daisyandme33/?hl=en
