One of our mobile spy cams must also rise to the challenge.
Koalas rarely come to the ground or show such a turn of speed.

(koala bellowing) He bellows to announce he's in charge.
(koala bellowing) A warning to other males.
(koala bellowing) Koalas scent mark the ground to tell each other who's been passing through.
He's caught the scent of a female.
(birds chirping) But this one already has a baby.
No point chasing her.
(birds chirping) But she's not the only female here.
And our spy is now keeping her company.
(upbeat music) The male's enthusiasm may be short lived.
A rival has found her first.
He will have to challenge for possession.
He announces his arrival with a warning.
(koala bellowing) Spy koala is witnessing something rarely filmed.
A fight in the treetops.
(koalas screeching) The only injury, a loss of dignity.
(birds chirping) The loser makes his retreat.
While the challenger gets the girl.
