Welcome to our Aussie friend
I called in to see the two Koala Bears that have just arrived at the Calgary Zoo this afternoon. Both animals were sitting in "trees" right at the back of the enclosures and were fast asleep with their backs towards the visitors - of course, ha, ha. This one woke up for a few seconds and turned its head to the side a little, allowing me to get a poor quality, indoor photo, but one that is nice to have. The two male Koalas - Mundooie and Budaru - will stay at the Zoo's Australia exhibit until just after the Labour Day weekend. The pair are on loan from the San Diego Zoo, which has more than 20 Koalas. Koalas sleep for 18-20 hours a day, basically waking only to feed : ) As Koalas are solitary animals, each has his own separate enclosure. Under the Koala loan program, our Zoo pays a monthly fee to the San Diego Zoo, which it sends on to a conservation organization in Australia. Sounds good to me.
