koalas
we went to a koala hospital in port macquarie the other day. koalas are awesome. we almost adopted one.
they are the coolest little bears i've ever seen. they are completely docile and super lazy; for an indication of how lethargic they are, think about the fact that they don't drink any water (unless they are sick or dying). so naturally, it takes them forever to do anything and it seems like they lose their concentration in the middle of whatever they are doing. whenever they go anywhere they take a couple steps, stop, look around, go a couple more steps, stop, look around, and so on...
this one's mother died while he was still in the pouch, and he was raised in a home stay by a volunteer. however, the volunteer had a small dog that the koala played with, and so since he's never had any contact with another koala he thinks he is a dog. he is at the hospital to learn how to be a real koala.
