I recall seeing a tanned Koala skin selling for about $1500. I would think they were sitting on a gold mine, think of what some taxidermists would pay for a mountable hide. I am sure zoos must have to pay big bucks for Koalas for their exhibits. Sounds like every zoo in the world could have them. If they have to reduce the population, why not make some bucks off it. Capture them live if nothing else.

Hmmmnn , a tanned koala skin for sale - quite ilegal i believe- unless permited(doubtful).

No point payin big $$$ for one - cant display them without permission or sell them and besides you can find them on the side of the road easy enough if that desperate.

But then - each to thier own i guess.



(edited to say; you'd be amazed what zoo's get 'rid' of due to lack of space - and they bury the lot unless your 'a good mate')
