Please spay and neuter your animals! While your newborn animals are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless pets. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

That look on the kid's face. "Mom. . . MOM! They're taking a freaking picture. This is so embarrassing."

OAK? I googled it, but I somehow doubt it stands for Online Access to Knowledge.

Edit: Memes. Memes everywhere.

[–]mkwarman 62 points63 points ago

I believe it's 'Overly Attached Koala'

[–]Shitty_Shop 54 points55 points ago

Sure is.

[–]Rawmin 15 points16 points ago

You just made me make a sort of yelp-giggle sound I've never made before.

[–]translating_donkey 2 points3 points ago

That actually startled me, freaked the shit outta me is more accurate.

[–]MrAppleseed 4 points5 points ago

You sir, just made my day. Congratulations, +1 karma for you. Don't spend it all in one place.

[–]alfiethemog 1 point2 points ago

Well I'm not sleeping tonight.

[–]MauledByPorcupines 1 point2 points ago

Oh my god, this is fucking terrifying.

[–]pleasedrinkbleach 1 point2 points ago

This reminds me of furbys (I have NO idea if that's the correct plural). Which are terrifying and apparently making a come back.

I guess I didn't need to sleep ever.

[–]flignir 6 points7 points ago

I think they are going for "Overly Attached Koala," but I might be wrong.

[–]ABarge 2 points3 points ago

[–]jawarhalal 2 points3 points ago

Overly Attached Koala?

[–]-sorel- 4 points5 points ago

NO! IT WASN'T RIGHT THE FIRST FIFTEEN TIMES, WHY THE BLOODY HELL WOULD IT BE RIGHT THIS TIME!

[–]wow_great_name 1 point2 points ago

Jackal! Jackal! Jackal! Is it jackal? Jackal!

[–]-sorel- 2 points3 points ago

No, I'm sorry if I sounded angry. I was actually just quoting family guy. uh. Have a good day.

[–]MauledByPorcupines 0 points1 point ago

I think it's "Overly Attached Koala."

[–]penguinfacts 2 points3 points ago

King Penguins are found in their colonies year round, because it takes them 15-18 months to raise their single chick.

We call them mums down here.

[–]dracdliw 12 points13 points ago

They both make sense until you drag out the word. When I see 'moooooom' I say 'mewm'.

[–]Stembio 3 points4 points ago

Jesus, you are plugging the hell out of /r/koalas. We get it, subreddit for koalas.

[–]throughtheflux 0 points1 point ago

One more time?

[–]steeldragon69 15 points16 points ago

Koalas have two thumbs on each hand, and are some of the only mammals to have fingersprints.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koala#Physical_description

[–]Marsha_Brady 2 points3 points ago

Ooooh, fun fact of the day!

[–]MoosePolice 2 points3 points ago

I'm going to start pinning all of my crimes on Koalas.

[–]Stembio 4 points5 points ago

I have some regrets about googling that.

[–]vervii 1 point2 points ago

So what's their average 100m time on fingersprints?

[–]steeldragon69 0 points1 point ago

Roughly 12.37, they're not the fastest fingersprinters, though admittedly not the slowest either. They are somewhere between a Gorilla and a Charizard.

Holy sweet Raptor Jesus, that is the stuff nightmares are made of! What the hell is going on with the Emily Rose koala in that picture!?!?

[–]vuxa 30 points31 points ago

Mouth is photoshopped from a dog. You may sleep easy

[–]SWIMGlass 5 points6 points ago

Whew! Thank you! I know koalas are probably not as soft and cuddly as picture ls would lead one to believe but that thing looked as though it would rip out your throat!

[–]JayceMJ 1 point2 points ago

Luckily Koalas don't go for the throat. Dogs do, though.

[–]SWIMGlass 2 points3 points ago

Well here's hoping to no dog koala hybrids!

[–]mastorcastor -1 points0 points ago

Indeed.

[–]superluminal_girl 1 point2 points ago

Ha ha, my son has a book about Koalas. It says when they're angry they make a loud ticking sound, "Tick tick tick." It needs this for an illustration on that page.

[–]SWIMGlass 2 points3 points ago

Except then kids would like flip to that page and just start bawling! Hell as a grown adult (prior to knowing it was a PS) I was like "Noooooooooope! Staying the fuck away from that thing!"

[–]TheMightyQtip 0 points1 point ago

I can only imagine what would happen if this baby koala would be taken away from them.

[–]Deathprone 3 points4 points ago

To be fair, this picture was only ever popular a year ago. Many new people have joined, some may have missed when it was originally posted, and maybe some just want to see it again. Just because something is posted once doesn't mean it can never be posted again.

A year is a long ass time.

[–]Caligirl03 7 points8 points ago

Aw, so cute. However, it almost looks like the little one is saying, "I love you mom, but you are skwishing me :P."

[–]FishStand 1 point2 points ago

This made me gush.

[–]fap2blocks 10 points11 points ago

did you know that koalas mate by rape

[–]Sparticus2 27 points28 points ago

I bet it's still cute.

[–]shitbefuckedyo 17 points18 points ago

Can't be legitimate rape if the female koala conceives.

...too late?

[–]ieatbees 5 points6 points ago

I support Koala abortions.

[–]A_Drunken_Koala 8 points9 points ago

Well..if you saw the way some of these girl wear their fur..you'd have a hard time controlling yourself too pal..

[–]timmojo 1 point2 points ago

But it's obviously not legitimate rape because they have babies from it.

[–]vervii 0 points1 point ago

Legitimately?

[–]speaktodragons 7 points8 points ago

Thinking to herself " babies make great pillows. "

[–]RussianBears 2 points3 points ago

Go to sleeeeeep!

[–]franzyfunny 5 points6 points ago

That's not a loving mum. That's just a koala squeezing the shit out of a rival's offspring before eating it. This is Australia. Everything kills everything. Get it right.

[–]dysthal 2 points3 points ago

and she's high as fuck on eucalyptus or wtv they eat 24/7, she doesn't give a shit.

[–]franzyfunny 4 points5 points ago

Euca, boi. That shit be baddest ruffest on marsupials.

[–]VengefulOctopus 6 points7 points ago

Just.

[–]berlinbaer 21 points22 points ago

does every submission in here now has to start with "just...". /r/pics got mostly rid of that a long time ago..

[–]Kellianne 3 points4 points ago

I normally don't give a shit about hat kind of stuff but even I think it is getting annoying. The "So I...." is annoying as well.

[–]Kwinten 5 points6 points ago

"SO I rescued THIS LITTLE GUY and it didn't get enough love in /r/pics."

[–]Kellianne 0 points1 point ago

Argh!

[–]Giant_Robot_Birdhead -1 points0 points ago

[–]legodarthvader 4 points5 points ago

You're not going aaaanywhere...

[–]AnteFjjante 2 points3 points ago

Obvious Koala death-grip.

[–]chrisman01 1 point2 points ago

Goddammit, made me start thinking of home. I'm 21, moved away almost as soon as I turned 18.

It's weird how when you're growing up you feel trapped, but when you finally get out you find you're trapped by rent, taxes, constantly going to your job (if you have one), etc.

Think I'll call Mom and tell her I love her.

[–]xvf9 4 points5 points ago

Incorrect. This is the premature stage of the dropbear. Soon the two koalas will merge, becoming a single, murderous organism with the sole purpose of destroying and devouring all that is innocent and good in the world.

[–]shpong1ed 10 points11 points ago

Downvoted because of "Just"

Great picture though.

[–]gjoh 7 points8 points ago

I second that. "Just" downvote all "just"-posts.

[–]StrifeIV 1 point2 points ago

Agreed.

[–]Thund3rbolt 2 points3 points ago

Mooooooooooooooom!! It's only the first day of school...

[–]dustinyo 2 points3 points ago

This picture has been up for 4 hours now and nobody has made a comment suggesting that animals are better mothers than people because of this one picture.

You've come a long way, reddit.

A viscous, killing machine of a loving mom.

[–]ColonicIrritation 1 point2 points ago

I didn't know Koalas were that glutinous.

[–]Giant_Robot_Birdhead 0 points1 point ago

Hah! This is one of those, "My god, how many times have I mixed up these words" moments.

[–]trapherkeepher 0 points1 point ago

More likely a sleeping mom since koalas sleep up to 18 hours a day.

[–]yankee_bluejeans 0 points1 point ago

Why are you squeezing me with your body?

[–]Cyber-6 1 point2 points ago

Fun fact: Koala were once ground dwellers. As a result of this, they have pouches in which the opening is toward their feet, not head. What was once an advantage has become a serious problem with their life in the trees.

[–]Ilikecornandcock 0 points1 point ago

the babies also eat the mamas poop til their digestive systems can handle the eucalyptus. :)
