The Koala ( Phasclarctos Cinereus ) Wich roughly translated means "don't let it run up your leg."

*Koalas aren't bears as many people are led to believe. They aren't even related to bears. The koala is a Marsupial having a pouch to raise the young". They can sleep for 20hrs a day and eat toxic Eucalypt leaves. The Aboriginie (Native Australian) Name given them is Koala which means no drink. as the moisture they require comes from the leaves.
For since the creation of the world Gods invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that We are without excuse,(Romans 1:20)

    Those claws almost rival an osprey's talons. Too bad these little tree toys are not in the States. Would be fun to photograph. Thanks for sharing.

    Love the way you've managed to capture those claws! Makes it easy to understand why they don't fall out of trees. (Unlike the native Drop-bears ;))

    Had the privilege of holding a Koala once, years back. Kind of like holding a large brick with a soft coating. And claws.

    Excellent capture! thumb.gif

    I can see why you don't want one running up your leg. Good capture. thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
