Finally an Awake Koala — Check out His Model Shots

Growing up I loved going to the zoo. Where else could I see the ferocious lion, the majestic tiger, or the...

Sleeping Koala?

I never saw a koala awake. These little creatures spend 20-22 hours a day sleeping and the rest of the limited time eating...aka living the dream.

But, when I visited Australia a few years back for work, I took the opportunity to check out their koala exhibit, and this big guy was AWAKE!

Not passing up this rare moment, I started taking some pictures with my phone to make sure I showed people back at home their personality.

Just check out this side profile. We should start calling him The Pensive Thinker. He looks like he's deep in contemplation.

For his next model shot, we have him throwing that back shoulder gaze into the camera while hanging from a tree branch.

Why not one more back shoulder with the head up high...Now that's confidence.

After all these model shots, we get the true koala, just a cute little marsupial...well not so cute if you get on their bad side, they are known to be fiesty and violent, but not this guy thankfully.

He wouldn't give autographs, but at least he let me take a selfie with him.

Say bye to this guy. Thanks for staying awake for ten minutes so we can see your personality.
