- He’s a repeat offender and has attracted mates to the free feed, costing the nursery thousands of damaged plants.
- What’s next? The nursery owner hopes new fencing and a mass planting project nearby will deter the brazen koala from repeated daylight robbery.
What does the title of the book “eats shoots and leaves” have anything to do with this story? I read the article and there’s no mention of the book or some wildlife zoo or whatever by that name.
