Koala Notes

Some notes on a couple of these koalas Iff has mentioned...

Bellevue Bill is indeed my favourite koala. They're all gorgeous, but he stole my heart when I learned how sick he is and also when I fed him formula for the first time. He's a wee gentleman. Whereas some koalas see the formula coming and grab at it and slurp it down, Bill just politely sniffs at things. He doesn't spill a drop of the formula, provided it's fed slowly to him. And when I'm refilling the syringe, he likes to lean in closely to watch and sniff at the formula, and he sometimes licks my hand like a little cat! He's just precious. I'm so glad he's in such good hands at the koala hospital.

Now, look at the picture of Ellenbourgh Nancy. Despite looking rather appalled in the picture, she's an adorable, wee, fluffy thing. She's also Iff's nemesis. She's the one who tried to climb him and bite him during our first morning at the hospital. Ha! Gotta love her!
