Rehabilitate and release Jennys
Often called Jenny
“bear” - look fuzzy, hair-like coarse
sheep’s wool. With two
fused toes which they use as combs,
in eucalyptus forests.
When not sleeping, they’re
usually eating, that’s why
Jenny’s sleep so much.
Tucked into tree nooks, may sleep
twenty two hours a day
Jennys need a lot
of space, perhaps a hundred
trees. They are sadly
vulnerable, their habitat
shrinks, forced to stop napping come
down from trees, at risk of predation.
Predators include
dingoes and large owls. Also
at risk of getting
hit by cars and attacked by
dogs. Chlamydia widespread.
Rescue volunteers
have stepped up to to care for Jennys
with the laudible
goal rehabilitating,
releasing back in the wild.
