Viral pictures of the koala were clicked by part-time photographer and risk analyst Ross Long. The 27-year-old said that he clicked the picture on seeing the koala "positioned in a seductive manner as if to say, 'I'm ready for action'" He said the marsupial was the easiest model he worked him as it maintained the same pose throughout the encounter giving him plenty of time to click. Pictures of Pigeons Sitting As Humans Go Viral on Twitter; the Reason Might Break Your Heart!

Daily Mail quoted Ross as saying, "He's certainly positioned in a seductive manner as if to say: "I'm ready for action". There were other female koalas nearby, so I guess this is his way of letting them know that he was indeed ready. He looked more chilled than a Friday night of Netflix and chill. Perhaps this explains why chlamydia is such an issue in the koala world?"Ross posted the photo on Instagram with the caption, "Draw me like one of your French girls, Jack."

Ross further said, "I've never worked with such an easy-going model like this one before, it's a welcome change from the stuff I usually capture. I'm lucky enough to travel around Australia and New Zealand most of the year which gives me plenty of photography opportunities. There is just so much variety in Australia, depending on where you go, the animals adapt to the landscape. It keeps everything fresh and exciting."
