Photographer Paula Longshore captured these expressive images of mother koala 'Colliet' with her six-month-old joey at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's Gum Leaf Hideout yesterday. Koala moms like Colliet bear one young every two years and may even adopt abandoned babies.

    Wonderful pictures… especially the second one. Momma Colliet looks so tranquil. When I was a kid I wanted a koala bear for a pet.

    Can you pet a kaola bear at Cleveland Metroparks zoo. I was wondering if you could because my grandma turns 70 years old and loves kaolas and it would love to get to old one.
