Description

Cute Koala close up, taken in South East Queensland, Australia
Koalas are marsupials and with their soft grey fur they have a high level of cuteness. They can be found in open woodlands in coastal areas of eastern and southern Australia.
Koalas are very picky eaters, they only eat certain types of Eucalyptus - or Gum Trees' leaves. They are an important icon for Australia. They are however a threatened species. The biggest threats are deforestation, disease, increased urbanization, cars and dogs, and of course many lost their lives and habitat during the bush fires of 2019-2020!

Numbers of this beautiful animal are seriously declining and they have finally been listed as endangered in 2022. I am so grateful to live in an area where there are still a few and you can imagine how special it is each time I see one. I am so happy to be able to share my images with you. To help save this beautiful species I have decided that when you buy a print of one of my koala images, I will donate 50% of my proceeds to the Wildlife Warriors' Koala Conservation Project.
