Does anyone else think this should have happened with Justine Henin?
The two koalas who stole the limelight from tennis great Andy Roddick with an enthusiastic mating session are both female.
The same-sex marsupial couple is now famous worldwide after being filmed bonding in the background of a Roddick interview for couriermail.com.au.
Brisbane's Lone Pine Sanctuary senior wildlife officer Karen Nilsson said the female koalas, which are normally kept separate from the males, express a readiness to mate by engaging in sex sessions with other females.
"When they are ready to be with a male, one of the things they do to express that is to pretend to mate another female," she said.
She said Sprite, the instigator of the action, was one of the smallest koalas in the female enclosure, only weighing 4.5kg. Her accomplice, Saffron, weighs in at more than 6kg.
Ms Nilsson said Roddick had been lucky that the koalas weren't as vocal as they normally were, and that only two of the koalas were involved.
