Momo arrived at Koala Gardens in July 2024, during the dispersal season. He is a beautiful sub-adult male.
Koalas disperse each year around July – November. When young koalas disperse, they are looking for a home range to call their own. On arrival he weighed around 5 kg. You can imagine 7-9 kg for a mature adult male. He has a distinct nose pattern and beautiful big ears.
We hope that Momo will make Koala Gardens his home and stay, we can’t wait to see how big he becomes as he matures into an adult.
If he doesn’t, he has still been given a great start in life by having a safe place to grow with lots of leaf to eat. That is exactly what Koala Gardens is all about providing to koalas.
Not all koalas that come here during the dispersal time stay for life. However, if a young koala spends even just a few months here, they get a great start in life.
He has lots of video on YouTube and even has his own playlist (below). Momo also appears in the Koala Gardens Happenings for 2024 and 2025
