This one is not a surprise. There's far too many variables to make a consistent study - the quality of the lick-er, the quantity of the licking, to say nothing of the exact technique used to do it. There is an art and a science to licking.

Interesting Fact of the Day: The fingerprints of koala bears are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they can be easily confused at a crime scene.

That problem can be circumvented by the investigator recognizing the presence of little turds that smell similar to cough drops (eucalyptus)


Additional Zonk fun fact:

Koalas are sometimes called “Drop-Monkeys” by local Australians because the fuzzy little marsupials sometimes over eat on a particular berry that when ferments gets them drunk. Then they fall from their perch!

This info was provided to me by the only Aussie that I spent any length of time with. He also called a shit floating in water a “Blind Mullet” !

It also helps that koalas have two thumbs on each hand. :D
