The 2nd stamp in my "STAMPS of the countries where my Flickr contacts reside." project/set. See others here: www.flickr.com/photos/rjhayphotography/sets/7215760709634... When I was much younger, this was one of my favourite Australian stamps. I have never been to Australia but outside of Australia this Australian symbol was often referred to as a "Koala Bear" because of its close resemblance to the children's "Teddy Bear" popular in North America. The original "Teddy Bear" was created as a stuffed animal toy around an incident involving U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and a black bear. The Australian Koala is a marsupial and is not related to a Black Bear in any way but, much to the dismay of those interested in proper nomenclature, the term "Koala Bear" has stuck like glue to this image of a cuddly animal from Australia. The Koala diet consists of leaves of the Eucalyptus and although the Koala in the stamp looks to be wide awake, real Koalas sleep most of the time. According to information in Wikipedia, they have fingerprints just like humans do. I find that most fascinating. I did a quick search of my contact's photos and found that Macdonnelliensis has an interesting collection of Koala photos in his flora and fauna set of Victoria, Australia including this stamp like image with eyes closed: www.flickr.com/photos/centralaustralia/1803365418/in/set-... Pay his set a visit. Very interesting collection of photos of interesting bird and animal life in Australia. Follow my travels and photographic adventures at: www.MegapixelTravel.com
