Koala-rama - A Mother's Love and a Baby's Adventure!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this adorable snapshot from the Otway National Park in Australia, we witness a heartwarming moment between a koala mother and her piggybacking young. As they climb up a tree to find a new feeding and sleeping spot, the little one clings on tightly to its mom's back, determined not to fall off. The iconic koala, also known as the ash-colored pouched bear, is often overlooked in the wild due to its behavior and coloration. These marsupials spend most of their time high up in the treetops, munching on eucalypt leaves - their favorite delicacy. They have an incredible ability to digest these tough and toxic leaves that provide low nutrition. While they may sleep through most of the day to escape the scorching heat, when it comes to matters of love or unwanted advances from males, mothers with piggybacking young are fierce defenders. After an intimate treetop mating session lasting 35 days, females give birth to one joey who quickly finds refuge inside their rear opening pouch. At five months old, this adventurous joey begins exploring the outside world under its mother's watchful eye. It's moments like these captured by talented photographers Steffen & Alexandra Sailer that remind us of nature's wonders and teach us about unique animal behaviors.
