My family went to the San Francisco Zoo last weekend, and I saw this cute Koala, looking very pensive. I had seen koalas up close at the Sydney, Australia zoo, but I had never seen one this "thoughtful" before.

This koala was seen in his safe environment at the Cleveland Zoo (Ohio, US). We hope Lucky lives a long and safe life as well.

This photo was taken at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia in early July 2008. I was in Sydney for World Youth Day and took many photos at Taronga although the weather was not kind.

Koala is a cute wildlife with thick skin to protect their lives, I think every animal/wildlife who has thick skin got more lucky then us, says 9 lives :).
