    My knowledge and experience with koalas is a bit different to @stols001. Yes, they can bite - as any animal can bit, either domesticated or wild. Luckily, koalas have never been hunted by man so have not built up a fear toward humans. The koalas being rescued are usually very docile - it is...

    It goes back in our history when white man first settled here. The rabbits were introduced then became a problem. Cats were then introduced to attempt to eradicate the feral rabbits. The cats then became feral. Over time, with other eradication programmes, and nature taking its own course...

    Thank you for the well wishes @Rob B. and @AngeNZ and all the Shiny Crew :wub: The fires are absolutely horrific with no end in sight yet. I just read an article that stated: "As of 15 December 2019, the fires have burnt over 3,000,000 hectares, destroyed over 700 houses and claimed 8 lives"...

    Thank you! She is a lovely lady for sure. Yet another rescue dog :wub: I can't believe some people can be so cruel - or stupid. I got her when she was about 2 years of age. She took a bit of training but she has become a delightful dog.
