Wild koala surprises canoeists by hitching a ride

reply to post by 74Templar


Thanks for the info. Now I know a little more about koalas.

If it's possible for a Youtube video to restore one's Chi...

This one does it for me. And yes, its impact lingers...crazy camera work and all.

Dang that koala is cute. Warm fuzzies.

Peace.

I realise the video isn't the best quality, but remember, the person taking it is in a canoe.
Precarious enough while videoing.
And even more so after the shock of seeing a wild koala swim right up and take a seat

It really is incredibly rare for a koala to approach a human or human habitat and I've only seen this happen once after a cyclone.

An extremely rare and delightful experience.

Beautiful. Hope the little guy made it safe back home.

Here is another article with a little more info and a couple more videos (less shaky).

I'm not gonna link the youtube links cause someone's posted a rude word and it's the top comment
