I would seriously love to be a koala. They have the best life. They wake up and have a breakfast of fresh off-the-tree eucalyptus, which is highly poisonous, thankfully they're resistant enough not to die from it, but do get rather intoxicated with it. Having had a stomachful of the noxious leaves, they proceed to keel over and fall asleep.

Rinse, repeat and interspace with copulation.

don't forget that koala retrovirus which will lead to a nasty case of koala chlamydia.:

" In recent years, some colonies have been hard hit by disease, especially chlamydia.[47] 2011 surveys in Queensland show that chlamydia has caused symptoms in at least 50 percent of the koala population. Chlamydia of koalas is not the same as the human form, but can cause blindness, respiratory infections to all koalas and infertility of female koalas. Moreover nearly all of the koalas in Queensland are infected with koala retrovirus which suppresses the koala's immune system and interferes with its ability to fight off chlamydia.[48]"

The scientific term is Koalamydia.

[–]dafragsta 3 points4 points ago

That's adorably tragic.

Someone start a vaccination drive!

[–]GrumpyPenguin 1 point2 points ago

but do get rather intoxicated with it

Nope, that's a common misconception. They're not drunk, they're just tired - their bodies suck at digesting it and they don't get the energy they need.

[–]bamboombango 3 points4 points ago

I wonder what koalas were like before they found eucalyptus trees to hang out in.

[–]Rather_Dashing 8 points9 points ago

wombats

[–]AGivenValue 0 points1 point ago

The life of wombats: Eats roots and leaves.

I might have missed a comma.

[–]carachangren 3 points4 points ago

Don't forget the raping. Males are known to rape females fairly often. A female can even have a baby on her back and a male will stroll right over and have his way with her.

[–]TheOneTonWanton 1 point2 points ago

It's like the 60's, all the time.

[–]trauma_kmart -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, they have such koality lives.

[–]mopman12 0 points1 point ago

Also, you'd have a very long (~2 m) cecum, which is the biggest plus.

Wow Skarsgard dies in that film? I didn't see it but if I ever considered to watch it, it was due to him....now there is no need.

[–]Raziel66 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, he doesn't really have a huge role in the movie unfortunately. Liam Neeson either (no spoilers there, he's just not a major character).

[–]L1stigerLurch 4 points5 points ago

I will always love and hate that weapon system. Cool but so terribly, terribly impractical.

[–]ZombieKingKong 3 points4 points ago

but what is it? Not the Koala, the other monster

[–]slander420 -1 points0 points ago

That feeling....before your face gets ripped off by a fiendish devil bear.

[–]Orallyimbibe 2 points3 points ago

My ears do that when I eat chocolate.

[–]JustAnotherSimian -1 points0 points ago

You may have a severe allergic reaction and should seek medical advice.

[–]Orallyimbibe -1 points0 points ago

It's a side effect I can put up with.

[–]drexlspivy 2 points3 points ago

Cool gif. I've actually been to this park, which is outside of Sydney. I wonder if that's the same koala I got to pet

[–]Cecil_Terwilliger 0 points1 point ago

I've been there too! That's Featherdale Wildlife Park in west Sydney. Pictures of people with koalas from there keep popping up on reddit and making me all nostalgic for my travels...

[–]MissBee92 0 points1 point ago

Ooh! we went there on holiday. Totally recognised the sign. Bringing back memories :)

[–]VonBrewskie 1 point2 points ago

Oh god. Ear wiggles are how a Koala indicates to it's mates it's about to attack. It's like how killer bees emit a pheromone when they're killed that whips the colony into a frenzy. That woman is about to die.

[–]stevie_stormborn 0 points1 point ago

Also, koala's get depressed if you pet them too much.

[–]vertigo72 4 points5 points ago

Featherdale!

Love that zoo... err "wildlife park".

[–]yankeefoxtrot 0 points1 point ago

Surprised that didn't yield an "air-scratch" like a dog would do.

[–]jest3rz 0 points1 point ago

Furbie.

[–]c1202 0 points1 point ago

The feeling of being touched by another human being? Yeah :(

[–]jackovasaurusrex -1 points0 points ago

Shiiiit, it's fucking cute until it decides to make some Swedish heavy metal.

I would tickle the shit out of that koala.(:

[–]ThomJonson -1 points0 points ago

If we ever genetically engineer another race to sapiency, koalas would be my vote

[–]johnny861 -1 points0 points ago

I'm pretty sure if she tickled my balls that way, my penis would wiggle like that.

[–]MrSafety -1 points0 points ago

I would interpret that the same way I would with a cat. The twitching is a body language way of saying you are pissing it off, please stop or you will find out how sharp koala teeth are.

[–]Captain_Yepr 0 points1 point ago

WOOOOAAH sometimes I get a good feeling -Koala

[–]proddy 0 points1 point ago

She shouldn't be alive.

[–]Imnon -1 points0 points ago

Moments later the lady was violently mauled and left to die, bleeding on the ground.

Dropbears, not even once.

[–]HIPPOPOTANUS 1 point2 points ago

Awwww.

[–]prettyfox -1 points0 points ago

He's going to have to eat so much to compensate for the amount of energy that ear-wiggle took.

Still, totally worth it.

I'm pretty sure that koala is mechanical. You can tell because it's not attempting to climb away or scratch her face off.

I wouldn't pet a koala. They look cuddly, but they can be vicious. O.O

[–]tagaronn -2 points-1 points ago

Facts about koalas:

  • They eat shit/their own shit
  • They regurgitate this shit into their youngs mouth
  • They sometimes shit directly into their offsprings mouth
  • Their fur is not soft at all, its awful and like itchy steel wool
  • They make horrible fucking noises
  • They have claws that can shred bark/you
  • They carry std's
  • They rape females
