Gee Glossyblack,
I've been too busy to visit the forum in a while, and I'm shocked to hear of Mrs Glossyblack's medical condition.
I'll have my fingers crossed for good news!

Cheers Reefie

Thanks cape man and Fuzz.

Our local volunteer conservation group has been plugging away for twenty years trying to get koala habitat protected as National Park. We had a nice win this week, as reported in the following link.

Congratulations GB. Something good to take your mind off what else is going on for a little bit.

Pretty dang amazing to me all the things you have going there Glossie. That is a wonderful thing the people have done for those cute little buggers

Don’t be fooled by cuteness, Fuzz. A closely related subspecies, the Drop Bear, is as savage as a grizzly!

"Drop Bear: a large, arboreal, predatory marsupial related to the koala, the size of a leopard, having coarse orange fur with dark mottling, with powerful forearms for climbing and attacking prey, and a bite made using broad powerful premolars rather than canines. They weigh 120 kilograms (260 lb) and have a length of 130 centimetres (51 in).

KOALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I got to hold one in Australia Zoo, and it really clinged on to me. I smelled of Eucalypt for hours afterwards

I am not surprised that any wild animal can be a problem when the mood strikes them. Something must be wrong with me because every time I see a Brown Bear I want to go tackle them

Thanks Jeff, Reefie, cape man, Tom, Lee, Christer and Fuzz. Appreciated.

For some time I've suspected you were more than a little wild Fuzz.

Almost there. This time tomorrow, the neurosurgeon will have pronounced.
