20 3. Movement difficulty Koala is showing difficulty climbing or moving. Signs of a healthy movement: Ground movement: Koalas on the ground should move confidently between trees, walking or running with purpose. They have a slightly “rolling” gait - their front legs stride out long and fast, while their back legs seem to lift higher than necessary. Being most vulnerable on the ground, koalas stay alert and deliberate in their actions. Tree climbing: Healthy koalas climb trees with ease and confidence, displaying strength and agility as they navigate branches. Signs of an unhealthy movement: Ground movement: Koalas may appear limping, circling or falling to one side, and may be unresponsive to disturbances. Tree climbing: Difficulty climbing trees or a lack of confidence in their movements could signal weakness, injury or health issues.
