Koalas

Having to sleep 19 hours a day in the fork of a tree may not sound very comfortable to us, but a koala couldn't ask for a more luxurious bed!

 

As sleep experts, they certainly know the best positions and poses; some almost look like contortionists as they twist and turn in their sleep!

 

 

Lone Pine's 130 koalas live in different homes around the sanctuary, according to their age and gender.

 

 

These homes include the "Boys" (your typical teenagers), the "Kindergarten" (toddlers running amok!) and the "Retirement Home" where the oldies go for a more quiet and relaxed lifestyle.

 

 

 

Make sure you check out each and every home during your visit to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary!
