On 18 June 2024 Phys.org reported: For the first time, free-ranging wild koalas have been observed regulating their body temperatures ahead of the hottest days of summer, by lowering their temperatures well below average during cooler morning conditions. The research has been published in Conservation Physiology. Research lead Dr. Valentina Mella said, 'This strongly suggests koalas predict the hottest days from morning conditions and adjust their core temperatures accordingly. We have never seen this type of behavior before in koalas.' Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

...Dr. Mella, who is from the University of Sydney School of Veterinary Science, said, 'This self-regulation requires individual koalas to predict days of extreme temperature from overnight and early morning conditions, adjusting their body heat regulation accordingly.'

...'It seems that this self-regulation of body temperature might play a more important role in surviving hotter days than known behavioral tactics, such as tree-hugging.'
