What's in a name? 8211; captured by an Earthwatch team on the day of the royal wedding. I thought ‘Kate’ would be fitting but I was ignored. 'Princess' lived up to her name though.

[Contact: Desley Whisson, Centre for Integrative Ecology, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, Deakin University.]. Thursday, 18 June 2015. I was sad to learn that 'Beast' was one of the 29 koalas euthanased during the last round of health checks of koalas at the Cape. Sad, but not really surprised. I wonder how many of the other koalas euthanased were in poor condition due to age?
