Yes, I too am a sucker for cuteness. Mick is not albino but has white fur and eyelids. He was discoverd by police in the Australian outback and was taken in for his own protection--from poachers:

Is it churlish to point out here that koalas aren't bears and that only people between Canada and Mexico call them koala bears?

But he is cute. :-)

Fixed on my end, but the video from Reuters calls him a "bear" ;-).
