The little guy in my banner is in trouble.
Cute, cuddly and fast breeding, thousands of koalas are eating themselves out of a home on an Australian island. But authorities are refusing to heed conservationists’ pleas to reduce the population, fearing a backlash from tourists and animal rights activists.
South Australia state Environment Minister John Hill said tourism would drop dramatically if koalas were killed on Kangaroo Island.
What I want to know is if there are so many koalas there, why is it called Kangaroo island?
