π¦ΈββοΈ Clark Kent was admitted in May with bilateral chlamydial conjunctivitis & mild anaemia. Now on antibiotics & eye meds - and doing well so far! ποΈπ Weβre rooting for you, superhero! π #koalahospital #NSW #KoalaCare #NorthernRivers


π¨ Waitβ¦ TWO heads?! Yep. Male koalas have a bifurcated penisβbecause female koalas have two reproductive tracts! Each tip delivers sperm to a different uterus. Wild, right? #KoalaFacts #Marsupials #WeirdNature π

π¨ Humphrey gave us the runaround before rescue! Heβs battling severe chlamydial cystitis & was in poor condition. Now safe in care, cleaned up, and starting treatment + supplements. Weβre hopeful for a full recovery! ππΏ #KoalaRescue #koala #koalahabitat


Ha! Fun fact π¨ Koalas fart constantly β but silently. Their eucalyptus diet causes lots of gas, but it's quiet (and barely smells). Some scientists think it helps avoid predators. Stealth mode: activated. ππ¨ #KoalaFacts

πΏ Little Higgins is back in the wild! π¨π Her soft release went beautifully & sheβs now thriving in Homeleigh - spotted recently high in a tallowwood, munching leaf! π The brave joey of Missy, we wish her a long, safe life. π #KoalaRelease #BackToTheWild



π¨ Koalas are homeless, jobless & eat half a kilo of leaves a day. Adopt one via @FriendsKoala and support naps, snacks & survival. πΏπ Cheaper than your forgotten subscriptions. No cuddles required (or allowed). #adoptakoala #savekoalas #koalalife
