Dude no.  Koalas aren't cute and cuddly.  Okay the babies are...but the adults are stinky hump monsters that snort and tear holes in you with their teeth if you try to touch them.  Nopenopenope.


Oh it's all in how they are raised. Just give it a hug and tell the koala you love it :love That's all it takes. Poor misunderstood koala.
 
Just to show you how not scared of Australia you should be - I'ma go find a field full of tall grass, lie down in it and let bugs crawl all over me.

Also I might be nuts.

Also you should never visit me because I breed spiders, beetles, cockroaches and solpugids (like Vinegaroons).
Yes! Me too! I don't usually breed them but my favorites are huntsman spiders

Same! Except for that facial tumour problem they are having

DAM!!
Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is an aggressive non-viral transmissible parasitic cancer—which likely originated in Schwann cells—that affects Tasmanian devils.[1][2][3][4] The first "official case" was described in 1996, in Australia. In the subsequent decade the disease ravaged Tasmania's wild devils, with estimates of decline ranging from 20% to as much as a 50% of the devil population, across over 65% of the state.[5][6] Affected high-density populations suffer up to 100% mortality in 12–18 months.[7] The disease has mainly been concentrated in Tasmania's eastern half. Visible signs of DFTD begin with lesions and lumps around the mouth. These develop into cancerous tumours that may spread from the face to the entire body. Once lesions first appear devils usually die within six months owing to organ failure, secondary infection, or metabolic starvation.[8] The tumours interfere with feeding, and the affected animal may starve to death. Devil Facial Tumor Disease affects males and females equally.[9] At present the population has dwindled by 70% since 1996. Numbers as of 2010, 80% of population is infected. The most plausible route of transmission is through biting, particularly, when canine teeth come into direct contact with the diseased cells.[10] Other modes of transmission include, but are not limited to, the ingesting of an infected carcass or the sharing of food, both of which involve an allogeneic transfer of cells between unrelated individuals.[11]
Six females have been found with a partial immunity. Breeding in captivity has begun in an attempt to save the population.[12]

I saw the cutest, ittiest little huntsman when I was hooking my new dryer up. It was maybe 1cm across, just a little baby. I coaxed it onto my thumbnail and then put it onto the side of my house so it could hide under my shingles.

Breeding insects, I can't spray my house so I'm rather at the mercy of the redbacks and white tails that wander in (a lot do and not one has ever bothered us). If they're getting out of control I introduce Skull Spiders (the ones frequently called Daddy Long Legs) and Huntsman because they'll take on the potentially dangerous ones in my house and not harm us.
