Many Koalas Work Second Jobs in Security
Koalas have traditionally made ends meet by sitting in trees all day eating eucalyptus leaves. And while most signs point to a melting recession, a tough job market combined with rising oil and food prices has made the going tough.
That’s why koalas increasingly leverage their high perches for a second gig – surveillance.
“Private security companies will pay big bucks for ‘eyes in the sky,’ ” says Winston Ko, a business analyst who writes for Security Watch. “Koalas are in the right place at the right time, and many can use the extra cash.”
