Koalas are cute but they're actually vicious wee bastards that will just as soon claw your face off as look at you. Get a good close up picture of one and check out those claws!
In related news, I once rescued a tiny little kitten. At time to name her, I said it was either going to be "Cat Five" or "Script Kitty". Some debate followed, and I wound up naming her "Five". =)
*grin* I actually knew that. Hung out with a very cute girl from Australia one of the years I went to the International Thespian Society Festival in Muncie, IN....eek, almost 20 years ago. Someone brought up thinking koala's were cute, and she nearly spit out her coke from laughing. "Oh, sure, they look cute in photos. Don't let 'em fool you. Horrible little buggers. They bite, they scratch, they piss all over you. Right pests is what they are."
She then proceeded to tell a string of "dead koala" jokes.
eek!
