The koalas were in the hold of the plane, a place where people are not allowed to go. A large box of eucalyptus was available for the animals during the entire flight. It is difficult to estimate how drastic such a journey is for animals, says Kok. “Animal transport is always quite exciting. Fortunately, koalas sleep a lot. We hope that they will surrender to the situation and just like people, they will snooze a bit. But unfortunately we cannot ask them.”
