It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content.<\/em><br \/>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/camping-with-koalas-at-cape-otway\/\">Camping With Koalas at Cape Otway<\/a><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Koalas are not particularly active in this area until the summer, and as such, we haven\u2019t really seen one yet. So the opportunity to help rescue one is just too good to pass up. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Now Koalas in trees aren\u2019t usually bad things; that\u2019s where they live. Look for well-concealed blobs in tall eucalyptus trees, and you\u2019re probably looking at a koala. But a koala in the middle of a city\/town, surrounded by yards full of dogs, and curious people who try to capture or feed the koalas (and feed them improper foods that tend to kill them rather than help) spells trouble. The biggest threat are the dogs, foxes, and other ground-dwelling creatures that will attack the koala when it climbs down the tree and move across the ground to other trees. So a koala spending time in urban areas is a ticking time bomb. Hence \u2013 the need to rescue it!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">As dusk is settling in, we arrive in Alexandra and begin our koala chase. With the help of some bystanders, we are quickly able to locate it, and chase it up a tree. Chasing it up a tree isn\u2019t exactly the preferred result, as we consequently have to go <b>up <\/b>the tree after it, but that\u2019s how it ends up going. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Kelly &amp; I, feeling more like dead weight than the rescue-helpers we envision ourselves to be, stand at the base of a mean looking tree with blankets and cages as Georgie adeptly climbs it. Her intention is to aggravate the koala enough so it comes down the tree, at which point either I expertly convince it to jump directly into the cage (right), or Kelly expertly throws a blanket over its head and picks it up under the arms (right). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThe idea is not to let it get away and up another tree,\u201d Georgie says with a knack for the obvious. Although it is valuable information, it only serves to make us feel even further out of our element and stressed about not letting a pissed off koala get away. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">As an aside, let\u2019s talk about koalas for a minute. Although Georgie loves working with them, she likens them to grumpy old men. With brains that are literally the size of a pea, they aren\u2019t very smart animals, and so everything they do is very simple and obvious. You almost always know what they want and how they\u2019re feeling. There really isn\u2019t much of anything going on behind those little beady eyes. No really. Nothing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">They eat eucalyptus leaves, which are actually poisonous, so Georgie figures with all the toxins in their systems, they can\u2019t afford to be too smart. When she goes to feed them in captivity, she says they basically throw open the door, glare at her, grumpily say \u201cwhere\u2019s me pudding!\u201d and slam the door again. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">One day, a koala Georgie had been working with for about three months was leisurely taking its meal from her hand, somehow knowing that Georgie was in a rush and consequently taking its sweet time. And looking directly into her eyes, it sunk its very long very sharp claws into her other hand. She maintained eye contact with the bugger as it managed to leave claw wounds about a centimeter deep in her hand, neither of them flinching. Grumpy, grumpy old man, he was. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">So that\u2019s the deal with koalas. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Most of the koalas Georgie rescues are unhealthy in one manner or another \u2013 which is often why they need rescuing. So today, as she sits about five meters up this mean looking tree, she expects that it won\u2019t put up too much of a fight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">She rattles the branches. It starts to move down the tree, at which point Kelly &amp; I spring into action. But it\u2019s a false alarm, as the koala simply moves to an adjacent branch and climbs back up higher. Georgie herself leaps to an adjacent branch, and attempts to capture it with a net on a telescopic pole and one leg wrapped around a branch for stability. Only the koala is up to her game and leaps to another tree entirely. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">This koala, as it so happens, is pretty healthy, and doesn\u2019t want to be caught. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Now quite aggravated, the koala starts vocalizing its frustration. Demonic sounds start to come from high up this eucalyptus tree. Sounds that can\u2019t be reproduced. Disturbing sounds of exorcism. A possessed grumpy old man burping and farting and snorting the way only the devil itself could. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Once back on the ground, Georgie sizes up the next tree which she\u2019s determined to climb. \u201cAt least this one will be a little easier,\u201d she says as she eyes the lowest branch, almost two meters off the ground. I would have thrown up my hands long before this point, and am suitably impressed with her Amazon tree-climbing prowess. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Once again about five meters (or more) up this tree, she attempts to wield the net to get the little demon still uttering its inexplicable sounds that nightmares are made of. It continues to climb higher up the tree. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cPoor little guy. You are really upset now, aren\u2019t you,\u201d Georgie says lovingly as it replies with a guttural grunt that comes from hell itself. \u201cI wish you\u2019d come down. This is not a good place for you to be,\u201d she continues to coo. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">As darkness sets in on us, and we don\u2019t have the torches, ropes, or harnesses that are required to continue on, Georgie reservedly acquiesces. \u201cThis is only the fourth time I\u2019ve not been successful in a capture since I started so many years ago,\u201d Georgie observes of her years in wildlife rescue, obviously frustrated. \u201cThe real problem is that this little guy isn\u2019t going to last long if we don\u2019t relocate it to a better place to live.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">So although we don\u2019t get a chance to get up close and personal with the koala, we get a good look at it up the tree, and of course, we get more than an earful. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Oh yes. And the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me: koalas have terrific little defense mechanisms in case they are being chased up a tree. They urinate all over their followers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Georgie by this point has nonchalantly shed two layers of clothing that are covered in urine, like she does it every day. (Actually, in a way she does. She has been spit at by llamas, kicked at by horses, bitten by donkeys, clawed by koalas, scratched by possums \u2013 the list goes on. She\u2019s quite used to the abuse by now, and understands these outbreaks as the animals\u2019 way of communicating). But Kelly, dear Kelly, on this fateful day, has learned a valuable lesson about koala rescuing:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_Goo1BmTC80U\/SMmTOER57CI\/AAAAAAAAAqY\/TebwW8C49MQ\/s1600-h\/IMG_1429.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244885110925945890\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_Goo1BmTC80U\/SMmTOER57CI\/AAAAAAAAAqY\/TebwW8C49MQ\/s200\/IMG_1429.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\">When standing underneath a koala that is in a tree being rescued, don\u2019t look up\u2026with your mouth open. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Very strong mouthwash is now on our grocery list. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our first koala rescue comes as a surprise.
