[@animalogic]

Thanks for watching everyone. Get up close and personal with Koalas in Nature: Spy in the Wild 2. The show premieres and streams Wednesdays, April 29 - May 20 at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/spyinthewild and the PBS Video app. It's such a good show, you'll love it.

2 more fun facts: 1. Koalas are so dumb, if you remove leaves from the tree they normally eat from to feed them, they won’t recognise it as food because it’s not attached to the tree 2. their mating call sounds like a boat engine starting up

[@mypiang]

they wont recognize it because usually the ones not on the tree are less nutritious and not worth eating so its a survival instinct

[@theorangeoof926]

Leaves that are detached from the tree are usually less nutritious then ones still on trees, so they obviously would prioritise the one on branches still.

For the Koala, the great struggle is already won. They have evolved a society that knows no stress or angst.
