Hi UG,
Lets call a truce here and stop hijacking Cloud's thread.
Maybe one day I will come and play with you in the politics forum. But probably not. Bruce is right, it just becomes opinion tennis pretty quickly. Let's stick to dick jokes and big vats of liquefied heads. They're fun.

Aliantha,
I've read the articles, (ok, skimmed the second one, it was real science). I will slightly revise my initial post: from "Koala numbers are falling in most of Australia, urban sprawl being the prime culprit". For "most" read "some". But I fear those "some" are the prime koala homelands, which for the same reasons, are the places humans want to live. And the fragmentation of populations can lead to problems.
Ecologically, frogs are much more important. But what tourist ever got themselves photographed with a frog?
But the good news is, koalas and humans can share:
These pics were taken in Adelaide in the heat wave of December 2005/January 2006, when temperatures went up to 45 centigrade (113 F) or so for several days in a row. Faces blacked because these are not my pics, not my kids, in fact I have no idea who they are.
