Not a pudu, but competitively adorable. In Port Macquarie, there’s an animal hospital that cares for koalas which have been hit by cars, attacked by dogs, caught in wildfires, or otherwise made to suffer for being a nearly-motionless puffball with questionable motor skills.
Sweet retired ladies with a lot of patience spend their days helping the little guys back to health, providing them with medications and dressings for their wounds and even feeding them by hand. I could have watched this for days.
You shouldn’t drive for a while after seeing this, because you’ll be groggy from the cuteness.
And with it being mating season and all, bringing horny little koalas down from the trees to scramble around the neighborhood looking for partners… inattentive driving would just create a vicious circle.
PS — none of the koalas I met actually hate Qantas. I asked.
