Krissy was the last joey of colony matriarch Mist . He emerged from the pouch on June 13, 2018 and separated from his mum at Koala gardens in November.
He continued to do well,, then, quite suddenly, over a period of 2 days, he developed chlamydial conjunctivitis in his right eye. Fortunately it was possible to catch him early enough for his treatment to be immediately successful. After 5 weeks, he was released again at Koala Gardens to be a wild and free koala.
Krissy was one strong little koala, spending 23 days independently on the property after release. In August, 2019, it was time for him, as a juvenile male, to disperse and look for his own place to settle. We last saw him on the 24th. Hopefully Krissy found a good home with plenty of food and was able to breed those bloodlines into future koala generations.
Krissy has his own You Tube playlist (below) and appears in the Koala Gardens Happenings for 2018 and 2019.
