That's the Spot! Koala Joey Scratches an Itch at Australian Sanctuary

Video from a rescue facility in New South Wales, Australia, shows an itchy young koala enjoying a vigorous scratching session as he rested in a tree. Port Stephens Koala Hospital, which posted the video https://www.facebook.com/reel/265693595787462/ on Facebook on March 27, said it shows their smallest koala, a joey called Georgie, dealing what appears to be a pretty intense itch on its belly and chest. Staff at the https://newswire.storyful.com/?search_term=port%2520stephens%2520koala&clearance_ids=56-82 hospital , which is located north of Sydney and provides shelter for marsupials in need, told Storyful that the Georgie's behavior was common as koalas "groom themselves often."
