Koalas on the move at Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary Kangaroo Island

This beautiful video was recorded by a Spanish volunteer on the Koala Walk. I believe it shows 2 young males learning territorial behaviour.

Male Koala doing his best to attract the ladies and warn off the other chaps at Hanson Bay wildlife sanctuary, Kangaroo Island, Aus.

Recorded by a visitor and posted to Youtube this video shows an old male demonstrating territorial behaviour. Note his battered nose near the end. This shows that he has been in a few physical altercations in his lifetime. Also note the "tea coloured" scent gland on his chest. This gland contains a mixture of compounds that changes with season and with age. It is used to mark trees and limbs to indicate the males identity and reproductive vigour to potential female breeding partners and rival males.
