Baby Koala Unhappy When Buddy Sits on Her at South Australia Rescue Centre
Isolation with roommates during the COVID-19 outbreak put even the strongest of relationships to the test, as was evident when Itty the koala joey couldn’t bear any more of her buddy Harry’s antics in their enclosure at an Adelaide rescue centre.
Harry, the larger koala, was captured testing baby Itty’s limits at the Southern Koala Rescue centre, this video shows.
He can be seen lumbering over to the younger female koala’s branch and awkwardly pulling himself up, kicking Itty in the belly and perching himself on her head in the process. Itty claps back at her bigger companion in response, although Harry remains placed on top of her.
“Anyone else got kids that have been fighting like cats and dogs during lockdown?” Southern Koala Rescue said in a post to accompany the footage, which was shared to its Facebook page on April 14.
