Nap time with baby ❤ Tag someone who should see this!

Koala joeys will stay with their mum until they’re roughly 12 months of age. They will snuggle into mum, just like Kimba here, until they are physically too big. Kimba is about 8 months of age so you still has a lot of mumma snuggle time!

They have poor vision and rely heavily on their other senses. They have excellent hearing which helps them detect predators and other koalas. They have an acute sense of smell which also helps them detect other koalas and their favourite food trees. The male uses a scent gland on his chest to mark trees and attract females, by rubbing his chest up and down the trunk. The gland oozes a clear, oily, strong musky smelling liquid.
