As much as we rag on koalas for being dumb as shit... they sure know how to relax

Chlamydia is a major threat to koala populations across Australia. This bacterial disease infects between 20% and 90% of individuals in koala populations.

That's quite the range

wow, if you asked me i would have guessed between 0% and 100%, so I wouldn't be far off from the scientists as someone who knew nothing about it.

That's what happens when you don't hunt and take whatever comes strolling along

That's not a dating strategy, that's a freaking totem spirit animal!

And he's looking so incredibly comfortable on his branch.

Being stupid, fluffy, permanently buzzed from your only source of food, and probably having chlamydia is the lifestyle we all should strive for.

Just waiting for a mate.

I've seen enough videos of rapey koalas to know that they sure as hell do pursue females.

Just watch a koala documentary and it may well be in there.

We had some koalas living in our backyard at one of the houses I grew up in. Evenings were spent relaxing to screaming from the female and grunting from the male...

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago

One video I saw some twenty years ago was so disturbing due to how clearly distraught the female was that I haven't been able to think of koalas the same ever since. Like, she might have developed koala PTSD, it was that brutal.
