koalas

The official forecast for this saturday is 110F, but there's some unofficial forecasts out there of 119. When I was on the treadmill this morning I saw these pictures of a heat stricken koala on the news. The link has a whole series.




Usually I'm the guy bemoaning that there's some small nation out there were people are getting exploited/slaughtered and all we can get on the news is a story about someone who grew a reaaaally large pumpkin. I do have to admit though it's quite cute.

  2. Yep. Definitely cute. But noooooot verrrrry bright. Their food is extremely low in nutrients, so they sacrificed expensive brain and don't move around a hell of a lot, to compensate.

    Personally, I like the bilbies — they're springy. (I also like the crocs and the kookaburras. But dangerous and rowdy are usually pretty interesting.)
