Mr. Nature here–and our video safari today takes us back to Australia for another visit with the quokkas.
Old-time sailors named the place Rat Nest Island; but the quokkas aren’t rats, but marsupials. And very friendly marsupials, at that. Their enjoyment of human company has made their home a popular tourist destination.
These animals never learned to be afraid of human beings–because for once we didn’t give them any reason to! Let’s pray that never changes. More of this world needs to be a lot more like this little island.
Wow, I had never seen one of these before, in fact never even knew they existed. They are really cute.
I love Koalas, too.
My Aunt Gertie had an opportunity to hold a tame koala in her arms, but she passed it up.
Well, can’t say I blame her. I hear the little rascals do bite. The are adorable to look at, but hold? ummm, don’t think so.
I presume the koala at the tourist center was used to people and quite tame.
But oh, boy, when they get riled–!
What an appealing little creature! This speaks volumes about our Creator.
