Because koalas spend at least 6 months in their mother's pouch, they like to hide to limit overstimulation. Here's a young koala being rescued from Australia's bush fires, a horrifying experience for many. Rescue workers tuck such koalas in their jacket to calm them. Rescuers also throw blankets over them before they pluck a koala from a tree or off the road, this also settles them down a bit.

I finally decided I liked the one where the koala is hiding in the rescuer’s jacket then you post the one with a teddy bear. I’m just going to like them ALL and not play favorites.
Sounds fine with me. :flowers: :flowers: :flowers: I like the one in the rescuer's jacket, too. I was watching a similar rescue and the guy said to the koala, "Oh, you want to hide?" as he tucked the little critter in his jacket the same way.

And another thing that is going on in Australia seems to be the prizing of koalas, especially, females -- "pretty females" they're often called (I would agree) -- b/c vets emphasize that females can produce 5 joeys over their lifetime. (The males spend their time patrolling their territory and rubbing the dark scent gland on their chest on trees and anywhere they can as a way of saying, "This is mine and this is mine. . .").

Females are the hope that the population endures at some level and doesn't go totally extinct by 2050. From what I can tell, about 6-7 years ago there were so many koalas on Kangaroo Island they were considered pests and culled. I can't imagine a koala being a pest, I think an overload of koalas would be a utopia. But if all the koalas who sneak into air-conditioned cars won't get out, that could be a problem. :)

Hi, I want to start of by saying that I have been a silent reader for over the past years and how this site helped and educate me many when purchasing for a preowned designer bag. This forum has always been a first go to site for me, for that a big thank you. :love:

This is also my first post and I am excited to be a member of this online purse community.

My name is Naznin and I live in The Netherlands. I have recently purchased a Vintage Hermes Kelly as an investment bag, to fund my college degree. I read somewhere that a Hermes bag is a beter investment than gold. So I thought, sure what other reason can one have to justify buying a bag one loves.

A little about my Hermes Story:

I bought the bag in Auction from Switzerland, however, I want to resell it at a reasonable relative low price. The reason why I want to sell it a little personal and I rather have a quick sale than just having it on my shelves. I was thinking of €2000 as an asking price. Would this be fair and do you recommend me of any place where I could sell this directly to?

My Hermes Kelly needs to undergo a Hermes Spa Treatment for it to go back to life to its old glory . It is overal in okay condition, but a spa can definitely boost its value.

Specifications: Black smooth leather, gold metal hardware, 23x35x13 cm (1989) Original without dustbag and box , including keys and lock.

I will have the bag within a week in my possession but in the meanwhile, please have a look at the attached pictures. I will post more closeup pictures.Schermafbeelding 2020-06-16 om 22.49.57.png

I look forward to hearing from you all.
