    t is illegal to have a Koala as a pet anywhere, even in Australia. The only people who are permitted to have a Koala in their possession, besides suitably authorised zoos, are, occasionally, scientists, and the people who are taking care of sick or injured Koalas or orphaned joeys. These people must have a special permit from wildlife authorities to do this work and the carers must return the animals to the wild as soon as they are well enough or, in the case of joeys, old enough, to take care of themselves. Because of Koalas’ unique physiological and dietary needs, it is a specialised job to take care of them and requires training from people who have experience in doing it. Koalas are wild animals Source: www.savethekoala.com/about-koalas/frequently-asked-questi... Yet, it is quite exciting to hold a koala and make it an eternity to have a photo of that moment.

  • Jazz Guy said:
    I've always wondered. Do people in Australia find the koalas as cute as those of us outside Australia, or are they an nuisance?
  • Jazz Guy said:
    Oh, given the time frame. Do you think this bear was made from real koala fur?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    No the koala is not a nuiisance but is nuiisanced by feral dogs and people. These souvenirs used to be made from kangaroo skin
  • Jazz Guy said:
    That's much better! I ate some kangaroo meat at an "Australian" bar in Huntsville, Alabama many years back and had a kangaroo burger in Liverpool, England just a couple of years ago at a food fair. Delicious!!!
