Koalas are dying from chlamydia, climate change is making it worse
A silent killer is spreading through Australia’s koala population, posing a threat that wildlife experts say could wipe out the iconic marsupial across large parts of the country. The culprit is chlamydia, a sexually transmitted bacteria that infects more than 100 million people worldwide annually and can cause infertility in humans if left untreated. For koalas, uncontrolled chlamydia can cause blindness and painful cysts in a animal’s reproductive tract that may lead to infertility or even death.
And how are the polar bears doing?
One needs to ponder, just how did the patient 0 koala bear initially contract chlamydia?
Hmmmm
I tried to develop a mental picture of someone sexually assaulting a kangaroo. Couldn’t do it.
Oops! I read kangaroo not koala. I like my mental image better.
Hunter Biden definitely isn’t responsible.
Maybe the goats are in hiding!
The convicts doing a little shagin in the out back with the marsupials in shade of the eucalyptus trees I would recon.
I’m sure there is a vaccine for it somewhere.
how long before the buybull thumpers blame their promiscuousness?
Exactly Francisco! Seems The Climate Change Cult needed a new mascot.
The vets can diagnose them with climate change and being filthy buggers.
Get woke!

It has come to my attention that the Council’s Animal Welfare Officer, Botticelli Truscott, is the author of a pamphlet published in 1973 entitled ‘Dodos – I’m Glad They’re Gone.’ Truscott has been suspended pending further investigations.
You’d think the same people who talk your ear off about natural selection would get over the occasional extinction.
Interestingly: “[A male koala] will actually thrust exactly 42 times before he ejaculates,” Ms Eccleston said.
“Every single time.”

Kamala, Chlamydia and Climate Change, Oh My!
Same story, I surmise.
Terminal stages of syphilis,might explain the state of Climatology and other hysteria about the weather.
Liberalism being a progressive disease,maybe these are all related?.
I suspect many alive today will look back with longing,for these days when all they had to worry themselves with,were these First World Problems..
For I fear these fools and bandits are marching us back in time,to where the primal problems wait.
Food,Shelter and Hope..Might all become hard to find.
Oh well ..know your local vegan.
Koalas are actually mean little pricks.
Okay, they are from Australia, where even the flowers will try and kill you… probably… but they basically have two states completely chill or ready to rip your jeans open.
Koalas, as we know, eat gum leaves and gum leaves are like vegan food for vegans trying to loose weight. There is very little actual energy to get out of gum leaves and hence Koalas have one of the worse skull to brain ratios of any animal.
They are NOT that smart.
Hence they have two functional states of half asleep or angry. The half asleep state is made worse by the fact that their digestive system lets the gum leaves sit in their system and ferment. So for ‘Half Asleep’ feel free to replace the words with ‘drunk as F’.
Most of the time this is fine. They sit at their end of the bar and look vaguely in your direction as they work their way through their pint. Except when they are not and then they become the irrational drunk trying to slash your face open with a broken pint glass.
Also, and getting back to the Chlamydia thing, they are not smart enough to spell ‘romance’ or MeToo, which would probably be an issue if we really cared that much about them and their sex lives.
The other big thing to understand with Koalas is that except in the sense that all wildlife needs to be monitored and cared for, they are NOT ENDANGERED. They have no natural preditors – probably because they taste awful – and if left to their own devices will just breed. On Kangaroo Island here in SA (the big island south of mainland Australia that isn’t Tasmania) numbers became so great that a sterilization programme had to be set up, which of course annoyed deeply the usual suspects.
Sure they are cute, but don’t let the doom and gloom stories scare you too much. They have been around for decades.
If you really want to be concerned about Australian furry beasties you might want to look at the Tasmanian Devil. These are little carnivores and been suffering from a sort of face cancer and despite years of research I do not believe anyone has come up with a solution. These little black and white teeth factories could be in long term danger, but cause no one has yet worked out how to throw Climate Change(tm) against them no one talks about them.
I blame Greta. Selfish little cow.
Woodland Caribou eat only lichens
Pandas eat only bamboo
Koalas eat only eucalypt leaves and two or three other plants
