It's something that koalas don't like to have to do. But they do it anyway. They survive!
They brace themselves, nestle into trees, protect the little ones, and ride out the storm as best they can. Well, yes, much like the rest of us really.
Here is Bundaleer taking stock of some damage done by Hurricane Irene at his local park in Greenwich, CT.
Of course, no koala ever likes to see a fallen tree. However, in this storm, many more trees here remained standing than were toppled so Bundaleer didn't fret too much about this particular one. Still it was a big, old tree with history, so that gave the young koala some pause...
Happily though, Bundy's osprey friends, as well as the colorful harbor boats, made it safely through the storm! Bundaleer guessed that they, like he, had quite natural ways to endure unexpected high waters. (Did you know that nearly all koalas can swim when they have to -- without any lessons whatsoever?!)
And so that leaves young Bundaleer, thankfully, in good general stead, waiting for his next adventure. He actually has an inkling of what his next adventure might be. Do you?
Bundy, We are very relieved that you and the ospreys are safe...Did you know that the Autumnal Equinox won't occur until September 23rd this year? That seems sort of much later than usual to us. We discovered that looking at our calendar...In general, there aren't many more hurricanes after fall arrives, so you can just relax and enjoy the beautiful colors. By the way, does your next adventure have anything to do with Canadian Thanksgiving, because our calendar says that Canadian Thanksgiving will take place on the same day as Columbus Day...and I know that would mean you get to take a really long and fun car ride with many nice views..If that isn't your adventure, could you give us some clues so we can guess? We are also thinking you might be visiting a tailor and a grooming salon soon...
