Katrina says:
SAVE the Koala September FACT 12.
You almost could say koalas are ‘all thumbs’ because they also have a well defined opposable thumb on their foot. This really gives them a big advantage in the tree tops as they can hold onto branches with their feet alone and use their hands to gather bunches of leaves to their mouth.
Notice that the foot thumb is the only digit that has no claw?
Join the Colony and get involved
Koalas who stay around at Koala Gardens end up in lots of photos and videos. You can read more about them here
You can become part of the Koala Gardens Colony by adopting any of the wild koalas here. You can also become a Patron, and one level has an adoption option.
Come and discuss Koala Gardens and all things koala on Discord where we hold lots of interesting and often in-depth discussions there. Lots of fun!
You will become part of the family and help provide much needed koala habitat.
