Yes they are all being cared for because they can’t look after themselves. Some are orphans some are blind ect. If they were in the wild they would die. The sanctuary protects them. X
Cheers Nan. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am so excited to finally get to Australia in May 2024. Good luck on the Tube and I hope 2023 is amazing for you (maybe more koala cuddles). - Turtle
This is to anyone popping in to Australia for a visit. Please don't take this in a negative way or like I'm trying to tell off, it's just general advice and information you wouldn't have been aware or informed of. In most states it is illegal for any wildlife park to offer 'koala hugging', I think only legal in Qld & WA. The reason isn't because we want to keep them all for ourselves, research and studies have shown any interaction with humans causes major stress and discomfort. What this does is affects a koalas sleep patterns, which doesn't sound like much but to a koala that requires a minimum of 20 hours sleep each day that is a big issue to their overall health and life expectancy. Signs of stress in a koala are shown as looking back and reaching for the branch after being taken by the handler and were measured to remain constant while being held. When a koala is then handed to a visitor the stress is shown to increase as the koala reacts by constantly reaching and looking back and resisting close human contact. As I said, don't take this as I'm trying say anyone who does is wrong in any way, not many tourists are aware of this. It's just something to consider, I mean who wouldn't want to hold something not even most Aussies get to see except in a wildlife park. But because most captive koalas are only one or two generation captive bred from former wild parent(s) they all still have the wild instinct bred into them. They are naturally solitary and become stressed even living in close proximity to another koala and because human contact is totally unnatural and avoided in the wild stress levels become harmful. Just a thought. Dingoes are similar, captive bred Dingoes are all born with natural wild instincts but early handling will tame them and get them used to humans, but will never really become comfortable with human interaction except for those closest to them. Another unknown fact is Dingoes will sleep for up to 18 hours a day, pure Dingoes can and do bark, but only in certain situations like guarding a den with young or when playing, and the third unknown but true fact is. Pure Dingoes can naturally be almost every colour a domestic dog can be, with brindle as well as black being common natural colours of pure wild Dingoes in forrested and thicker bush areas. I currently have a brindle tropical dingo who was orphaned after his parents were baited in NT that's been tested as no dog genes, pure dingo in research recently done in partnership with UNSW and Melbourne University into dingo genetics. Because he was born wild he hid for the first they months if cared for him but now the companionship is like nothing else. He lives inside with me and my rescue red heeler, and believe me, seeing them constantly side by side will convince even the most doubtful that Dingoes and dogs are two completely different canid species, both in physical appearance and general instinct as well as the unseen completely different genetics right down to the different dietary requirements between a dog and dingo. Anyway, just a bit of advice mixed with some useless but probably unknown dingo facts. Now all we have to do is stop killing Dingoes in their thousands every year simply because they might bite a sheep or two.
The lone Pine koala sanctuary has been caring for koalas since 1915 the first 2 were called Jack and Jill. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is eco certified. They love and all the animals who are in their care.
