I seen one in a zoo a long time ago and it was sleeping.

Cute lil' bugger.

Thanks for sharing. ?

Spark 317, hahaha, sleeping is what they’re best at.

I think it's a daily routine to sleep 19hrs, eat 5hrs.
Not me, the bear !

But don't attempt this flight early morning, or they get really annoyed . . .



They aren't too fast, but if they catch you unawares they can cause a very nasty calf muscle injury.

SPark_South_Oz, I was going to include “drop bear” in the title but that’s an Australianism and other viewers may not have understood.

Very nice footage of nature in motion

 

[SoccerRef12]

Very well done.

 

[Rendlesham UAP]

Great job - I just love this little animals. Donated to them recently.

 

[Simon Cooper]

Rendlesham UAP, they have very sharp nails, claws. If you find one in the wild you have to be very careful picking it up.

They apparently are not afraid of heights or falling out of the tree they are sleeping in. The only way I will sleep in a tree is in a hammock. ?

 

[Dragonfly Joe]

Thanks for sharing Simon Cooper. Something I would have never seen if not for your video.

 

[Simon Cooper]

Dragonfly Joe, have you seen my Tawny Frogmouth drone video? Now there’s an interesting looking Australian animal.

 

[Spark^]

That was really cool. Crazy little buggers. That was nutty how high they climb in those trees.
Great footage. Thanks for sharing. ?

 

[RotorWash]

That was great Simon, thanks for sharing!

 

[Simon Cooper]

Spark^, when I 1st saw it, before I put my drone up, I thought he was going to break the branch he was climbing on. He obviously knew what he was doing.

Those were my thoughts. The koala obviously more than I.?

Great video Simon, but be careful posting stuff like this publicly as you may run into trouble for flying too close to wildlife, you know the drill in Australia

 

[Simon Cooper]

homevale, yep, thanks for the advice. It wasn’t it a national park or a conservation park and I wasn’t as close as it appears on the video - effect of the camera and post-editing. All good.

No worries Simon, you know what some people can be like. I have some great footage of kangaroos, they basically ignore the drone if you keep it low.
