Fame definitely has its setbacks, and Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo from "Counting On" experienced this when they shared throwback photos of their honeymoon in Australia.
The two visited Sydney following their wedding last November 2016, according to InTouch Weekly. During their time there, the Vuolos interacted with the "locals," which Jeremy meant as the kangaroos and koalas.
Jeremy seemed nostalgic about their honeymoon since he shared some throwback photos on Instagram (@jeremyvuolo). In it, the couple were seen petting koalas and hanging out with the kangaroos. "A throwback to our honeymoon when we got to spend some quality time getting to know the locals Down Under..." Jeremy wrote in the caption.
While the photos did look adorable, some netizens took offense to it since having tourists pet koalas are frowned upon in some circles. "Not sure how close you are allowed to get without special permission as they are actually quite dangerous," one follower wrote. "Makes me sick," an angry netizen commented.
"You got that close to a koala and it didn't scratch you?! You clearly have God in your side," another added.
Koalas might look cuddly, but they can be dangerous when they feel threatened. With their sharp teeth and claws, they can inflict serious harm when they want to. This is what a woman from Williamstown, Adelaide experienced while she was walking her dogs back in 2014.
Mary Anne Forster was walking her two dogs when the dogs spotted a koala at the base of a tree. The dogs' presence really put the koala on edge and it attacked Forster. "Obviously the koala felt very threatened because it attached itself with its mouth, jaws, to my leg and bit very hard, bit very deeply," she told Yahoo 7.
With no one there to help, Forster had to rely on herself to escape. "Because it wouldn't let go, I put my fingers in its mouth and pried its jaws open to release my leg," she recalled.
