On the move…

This ONE Koala was constantly on the move. They usually sleep 22 hrs a day. All his buddies were sleeping. But he was everywhere.

These cute lil Fairy Penguins are only 9-12 inches tall. 2000-3000 come ashore after feeding each night at sunset. First, one or two will run about 10 feet inland and then chicken out. THis goes on for about 30 minutes. Then a few finally get brave and then they waddle in in groups of 20-30 for about 45 minutes. Sorry it’s a lil blurry but I had to take this one handed by my foot because they do not allow photography because too many people kept using flash. To see a cute video here is a link to my video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ncsGdRebcpsfiWrQA

On Phillip Island they have created a center to protect the penguins and have built viewing platforms to keep humans from disturbing the penguins too much as they return to their burrows.

Serious Sleep

The koalas really wedged themselves in for their naps.

Wanna Wallaby?

Wallabies are found in the same areas as Koalas as they both like to munch Eucalyptus.

Wallaby

Wallabies are very kangaroo like but much smaller at about 3 feet and 40 pounds. (Kangaroos can grow to 8 ft and hundreds of pounds). Unfortunately dozens are killed every night just on Phillip Island as they graze right next to the roads and seem to be attracted to the head lights.
