Description
Hold on Tight!
This young koala needs to hold on tight to mummy's back as she's climbing a tree. It's the cutest little thing!
A koala young is called a joey (this also applies to the young of other marsupials). For the first 6 months koala joeys live in their mother's pouch, They gradually start emerging until at 8 or 9 months they are too big to go back in. For the next couple of months they stay close to mother and then find their own way in life at about 12 months of age.
Koalas can be found in open woodlands in coastal areas of eastern and southern Australia. Koalas are an iconic Australian species. Despite their popularity they are an endangered species and need all the help they can get! Taken in south east Queensland, Australia.
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.
