Why wait for Melbourne when koalas can travel to India first? This entry was made in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, where the desert sun meets some Australian fun. 🐨🌅😄

Two of Australia’s most beloved symbols - the iconic koala and the majestic Twelve Apostles—stand as powerful reminders of the continent’s extraordinary natural heritage. In the spirit of Anatomy for Everyone, the koala’s uniquely long cecum, stretching to around two metres in length, enables it to survive on tough, nutrient‑poor eucalyptus leaves, and its human‑like fingerprints set it apart anatomically. Meanwhile, the Twelve Apostles’ towering limestone stacks—sculpted over millions of years by relentless Southern Ocean erosion - rise from the coastline as geological counterparts to nature’s remarkable adaptations.

Two anatomists and our one-month-old koala. The smallest member of our anatomy family joins the journey to IFAA 2026. Under the Istanbul skyline, she meets the sun for the very first time and clearly was not entirely impressed.

In 2026, the koala becomes a playful symbol of connection between past and present, celebrating the successful convening of the IFAA Congress. This photograph was taken in Florence, a city of profound historical and symbolic significance, widely regarded as one of the places where the foundations of modern anatomy were laid. During the Renaissance, Florence stood at the intersection of art and science, where the systematic study of the human body began to flourish and redefine knowledge. The image captures a bridge between origins and innovation, highlighting the continuity of scientific exploration that brings us together at IFAA 2026.

The Koala from Cologne is ready for a big adventure. From the steps of the majestic cathedral, he looks ahead with excitement—soon he will cross the ocean to discover his true home in Australia. Along the way, he brings more than just wanderlust. Through the mixed reality application Corpus, he has experienced a new way of exploring the human body—stepping inside, understanding its complexity, and sharing knowledge in a vivid, immersive form.
