1981 Press Photo Four male and one female koalas at the San Diego Zoo

Awaits mates: Four male and one female koalas at the San Diego Zoo are anxiously awaiting the arrival of new mates, now schedules for March 25. Qantas Airways will fly in six female and one male koalas on that date, gifts to the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service. Delivery to the Zoo has been delayed for more than a month by a labor dispute involving Qantas flight attendants. The San Diego Zoo is the only zoo outside Australia to exhibit to delicate marsupials.
