Joey joy

Just two weeks ago, Bonny Fire was tantalising us all with her delightfully puckered pouch and the promise of joey within! She was down from her favourite tree a lot more than usual, getting her extra fill of freshly delivered leaf now that she's eating for two.

Then, unexpectedly, a little arm would shoot out...

Oy! Whose arm is that?

I just managed to catch the arm retreating back into the pouch on video:


...and we knew that it wouldn't be too long before this little smiley face paid us a visit.

  3. Howdy. I was reading your blog, and I noticed you are the ultimate koala lover. How goes it? I just posted "KoaLa La Land" about koalas, Chewbacca, Matthew McConaughey, and me. Check it out. I think you'll appreciate it.
