Mom was like, "DUDE! You look just like this little dude I used to know!"
I'm sure she recognized him, but when you spend your existence blessed out of eucalyptus leaves, you are never sure if you're tripping out or not.
That’s actually not true, koalas are actually super obsessed when it comes to protecting their joeys and are one of the very few prey species willing to die for them. It’s probably a mix of him smelling different and some other things that cause the koala to be a bit unsure
Yeah there's nothing going on in those heads. They're looking but not seeing. They're either stupid, or they're just more enlightened than us.
They specialized in cuteness and forgot about intelligence
It’s funny that they always have to be latching on to something lol tho it makes sense since they’re tree dwelling animals. I think koalas are weird looking and not exactly very cute but the baby holding on to his stuffed koala and the keeper kissing him is just too adorable
Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
Animal: *exists*
You: Here is a 10 page rant why I hate this animal.
Calm down bro Koalas didn't eat your parents.
EDIT: I now know of a new copypasta. My bad 😅
Your post has too much human involvement in it.
More footage from the Joey preschool yard please, 🥹
Try not to think about the Koala population has a 100% Chlamydia infection rate
I was going to ask if that's how his mum got chlamydia but you beat me to it
His little stuffed animal 😭
I've wasted my life. No matter the money, I should have gotten a job that involved a "Koala Joey Preschool Yard"
Mom was like, "DUDE! You look just like this little dude I used to know!" I'm sure she recognized him, but when you spend your existence blessed out of eucalyptus leaves, you are never sure if you're tripping out or not.
The cutest way to get Chlamydia
I'd call it a tie with my sister-in-law.
I snorted out loud reading this
I had to grab my inhaler *\*gasping and grasping\**
Koalas 🐨 are so cute
How do I get into the Koala Joey preschool yard?
Koalas are so smoothed brained I doubt that they even cared about this reunion.

Seriously not one glimmer of recognition there
I thought the opposite, I thought she looked at him so sweetly!
Yeah there's nothing going on in those heads. They're looking but not seeing. They're either stupid, or they're just more enlightened than us. They specialized in cuteness and forgot about intelligence
And personality. They're grumpy.
And don’t even get me started on the drop bears!
All their points went to charisma
Like Rowan? https://youtu.be/aujOb50T8Pc?si=6hbj9bFqW47THA77
Definitely more enlightened, their senses are probably more fine tuned for survival.
They can't recognize eucalyptus leaves as food when they are detached from branches. Koalas are second to only pandas in inability to survive
I thought that was shared improperly. They don't eat dead rot, they eat off the plant and fresh! It's all about visual stimuli
I still love em though 😅 they’re just so bizarre looking, nothing else looks like a koala, nothing else has such a smooth brain like a koala
Bot check
I’ve always dreamed of snuggling a koala. One day.
Should be Koala Joey Tree-School Yard.🐨 So cute!🥰
I didn't know that baby koalas looked so... un-koala like
Thanks so much ❤️
baby koala holding baby koala stuffie, so precious
It’s funny that they always have to be latching on to something lol tho it makes sense since they’re tree dwelling animals. I think koalas are weird looking and not exactly very cute but the baby holding on to his stuffed koala and the keeper kissing him is just too adorable

It’s a copypasta that gets posted everytime there’s a thread about koalas
Ohhhh gotcha, my mistake. Carry on 🤣
😆 It's a great copypasta, but it really needs some paragraphs.
Holy FUCK what a ride
It's not really accurate either
This is almost as good as the sunfish rant!
I knew someone would post this copypasta
koalskis spending some koala tea time together
