> The Koala is a small marsupial that lives in eucalyptus (gum) trees in Australia. These nocturnal (most active at night) animals spend 18 to 20 hours each day resting and sleeping. They are social animals who live in territories.

Koalas are not bears; their closest relative is the wombat. The genus and species of the koala is Phascolarctos cinereus.

Anatomy: The koala is up to 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 m) long, weighing 10-30 pounds (4.5-13.5 kg). The soft, woolly fur is light-gray to brown, and has patches of white on the chest, neck. and ears. This fur protects them from cold weather and rain. They have rough pads on their feet and hands which are used for gripping the trees they live in. Baby koalas live in their mother's backwards-facing pouch for months.

Diet: These herbivores (plant-eaters) eat eucalyptus (gum tree) leaves. Koalas have a keen sense of smell which they use to make sure the gum leaves are edible and not poisonous. They store food in cheek pouches.
