【Delires obscenes (1998)】

People have Delires obscenes (1998)been talking a lot about hot animals lately. There's the hot duck, the hot cat from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and ... Gritty? Is Gritty an animal?

I respect the hot animal renaissance as much as anyone. However, I am extremely unnerved by this seductive koala, who was photographed by British photographer Ross Long on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, earlier this month. He later posted it to Instagram.

Is this koala hot? It is hard to say, but I do not believe the koala is hot in the same way that the hot duck, for example, is hot. The hot duck is hot no matter what he does -- he will even be hot when he molts, just in a more waif-y, artistic way -- but this koala is hot only because of his particular pose.

Is the koala as hot when he is doing something instead of assuming a "come-hither" stance in a tree? I don't think so.

This is not to discount the hot photograph, which is very powerful. It is simply some food for thought in this sexy, sexy animal era.

Anyway, this koala probably has chlamydia.
