"Hugging trees helps koalas to keep cool, a study has revealed. In a study published
in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, scientists used thermal cameras to reveal
that, in hotter weather, the animals moved to the lower, cooler parts of the trees.
They also pressed their bodies even closer to the trunks. The team, led by researchers
from the University of Melbourne, was studying how koalas regulated their temperature." [x]
