Koala falls in love with holiday home bedding
Published: 05 June 2009
For one koala, the chance to snuggle up to bedding was so attractive that it pottered around a holiday home on an Australian island and put his head down on the duvet cover of a surprised guest.
Goldilocks made the mistake of bedding down in the house of three bears, yet one koala evidently got his roles reversed when he read the famous fairytale.The Times reported the story of one plucky marsupial herbivore which crawled onto the bed of one of three women at an island retreat, nodding off before they returned.
A koala guest at the beachside holiday home on a Magnetic Island, off the far north-eastern tip of the country, soon became the business of Clifford Harman, a ranger in the region, who the trio of women contacted quickly after finding him on the duvet cover.
"Our head ranger recognised him from the photos and said it was one that had been born in a tree outside our park about four years ago. He was quite ecstatic to find out it was the same koala and that he was a happy and healthy little thing," he said.
The first and largest koala sanctuary in the world, Lone Pine, is down the coast in nearby Brisbane and looks after the interests of over 130 of the popular animal.
