Just before you go to lunch today, check out what’s on the Bebe koala menu; a mini salad.

Tiny Baby Koala

Laura T., read the title of this post in an Australian accent for the complete experience.

I found baby koalas a lot less cute after seeing the nature documentary where it showed how they eat their mom’s poo to build up their immunity.

However, I will make an cuteness exception for this little nibbler.

Nearly a “Koala-n-Racks” post!

6 Hon Glad 03.11.08 at 6:22 pm

Kristen: I second Koalas and racks, and on the video it doesn’t eat the leaves.

7 Redzilla 03.11.08 at 6:25 pm

Kristen: just what I was thinking!

He’s so tiny, I don’t care if he does eat poop.

8 Annie 03.11.08 at 6:38 pm

; ) I am a koala fan… Admiring Koalas since 1965.

“She’s still not got all her bum-fluff.” I had to listen twice to make sure, but that’s really what she said. Bum-fluff: cute on baby koalas, not on humans. tee hee

Koallys have a special place in my heart: the Australian bushmen believe koalas are the spirits of lost children. Ahhnnnn….

I find the Aussie accents quite charming too. :)

11 tank 03.11.08 at 6:47 pm

16 debg 03.11.08 at 7:47 pm

I’m on board with Koalas ‘n’ Racks too. Kristen beat us to the punchline, so we support her efforts.

19 chanpon 03.11.08 at 8:22 pm

Isn’t this the 2nd video of baby koala nonchalantly chewing on leaves? *nomnomnom* Who is part of this evil conspiracy to kill me with this cuteness? *nomnomnom*

20 Trish 03.11.08 at 9:45 pm

I just get a sad face that says “error.”

21 sam 03.11.08 at 10:19 pm

22 Don 03.11.08 at 10:26 pm

I remember a lot of koala themed shows when I was growing up. Whatever happened to all those? There was Little Koala, Noozles, umm, Crocodile Dundee…

We need more koalas, even the name is cute!

23 Furbabies 03.12.08 at 12:52 am

My kids used to watch a show/movie called “Dot and the Koala”. Anybody remember that? There were several “Dot” shows.

24 jen 03.12.08 at 1:55 am

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

*gets up to clean brain matter off the wall*

25 Cathryn Bauer 03.12.08 at 1:57 am

27 DLR 03.12.08 at 2:40 am

28 berthaslave 03.12.08 at 2:54 am

Well, koala me ded.

:: thunk ::

29 Meggr 03.12.08 at 3:12 am

Muffy: I saw the same documentary, I think. I try not to think about it. :D

Furbabies: Thank you! Now I remember the name of that movie I used to watch with a girl who had an Australian accent and a koala! I’ve been trying to figure that out forever.

I remember the Noozles, Don!

*ah, 80’s memories…*

Well, this cutiepie has most DEF. overloaded me!

30 Subhangi 03.12.08 at 4:25 am

I can’t see the video! Barooo? :(

31 Zluv 03.12.08 at 8:35 am

Chinese prostitute ads, still appearing on the sidebar. What a shame even the cutest of web spaces aren’t immune to deceitful advertisements. Meg should get new ad hosting services if her site is polluted by sexist ads that insult her readership. Making money shouldn’t come at the expense of the community’s better senses.

32 Leanne 03.12.08 at 9:29 am

yep – as an Aussie let me tell you it is all about “bum fluff” and we are immune. We had a very famous incident yrs ago when our Tourism Minister was holding on to one for a photo shoot and the K started peeing on him and as he panicked the K scratched him and he was caught on tape saying “dirty, peeing, scratchy, stinky, beasts”

33 Gail 03.12.08 at 10:25 am

@Leanne: LOL!! The Koala probably picked up on his “vibe” and that’s why he peed on him in the first place!!!

34 Kimski 03.12.08 at 12:54 pm

I get all excited hearing Australian accents on Cute Overload, only to hear the woman talking about “bum fluff”. It’s like an embarassing relative in front of your school mates. :-/

35 Kimski 03.12.08 at 12:59 pm

re: Dot and the Koala, I think it started as Dot and the Kangaroo.

36 Kimski 03.12.08 at 1:10 pm

Theresa, brilliant Aussie accent impersonation I must say.

37 Theresa 03.12.08 at 2:42 pm

Kimski, I had two Aussie boyfriends, although I couldn’t tell you why I had the second. :? Anyway, I took away from the first relationship, an appreciation for Australian wine, and a good Aussie accent imitation.

38 ThreeCatNight 03.12.08 at 2:46 pm

Real tasty, Mate! Beats shrimps on the barbie any day!

39 Annie 03.12.08 at 6:47 pm

I just love his precious bad hair day look oh and eanne Snicker.
WOuldn’t we all like to pee on a politician some days.

40 oakling 03.12.08 at 10:48 pm

Aren’t koalas actually vicious killers or something? That tiny little nibbler could EAT YOU ALIVE! Its cuteness is its greatest weapon!! Run!!

41 Fegli 03.12.08 at 11:05 pm

Awwwww. Those lucky girls… I would have been squeeing like a fiend.

42 Furbabies 03.13.08 at 12:47 am

I hope her bum fluff grows quickly. Nothing like sitting on a bare bum! BUM FLUFF, outrageously cute.

43 Subhangi 03.13.08 at 4:10 am

I can see the video now – what a precious little munchkin!

44 Kimski 03.13.08 at 6:47 am

Oakling, i think you are mistaking them for the drop-bears.

45 Kimberly 03.13.08 at 5:21 pm

I just got back from 10 days in Melbourne. Didn’t see any baby koalas in the wild, but did see full-grown ones. They do indeed just hang around in the trees there, like squirrels do here. They’re something of a sacred nuisance there, as their pee is quite toxic from all the eucalyptus and it’s apparently a dangerous idea to plant your tent underneath a tree full of them. But they are cute little buggers!
