found the koala in our pool sitting on the pool cover!!! the pool is full of water and he was just keeping his head above water!!!! he was holding onto a pool toy to keep him afloat!!! as koalas are normally only awake for 4 hours he was very tired from staying awake for so long!!! that didn't stop him from trying to scratch us!!!! koalas claws are very sharp and dangerous so we were lucky that he didn't scratch us!!!!
