Do koalas spank
Follow by Email
30 Mar One of the most peculiar myths, which may or may not still be current, is that these gormless marsupials spank their children. It is that, first of all, nothing a baby koala could do could possibly merit punishment and, secondly, the animals do not possess the fixed motor patterns which would enable them to.
I can see that this is feasible but can't imagine a koala mum expending too much energy in the exercise. I have to admit 'koala spanking' is a concept that I never came across growing up in Australia.
If this type of behaviour exists, I wonder what is interpreted as a 'spank' is more of a poke or a push?.

Description:But many do share concerns about spanking that is too severe or too frequent. For the next six or seven weeks it moves in and out of the pouch, until it is just too big. I've already mentioned how a baby koala learns to eat leaves. They then set up vigil with camera and lights in front of a bemused looking little lady perched in the fork of a tree.
