A Sleeping Koala
Sometimes erroneously called "koala bear", it is not a bear at all,but
a member of the marsupial family.
Koalas spend a lot of time during the day sleeping, are
most active just after sunset. The claws are strong and are used to clasp
onto the tree branches.
Habitat
Eucalypt forests of eastern and south-eastern Australia.
Food
Strictly folivorous they exist almost exclusively on eucalypt leaves.
Koalas seldom drink water.
Breeding
Generally the Koala has one baby, but twins have been reported.
The juvenile will remain in the mother's pouch for 5 - 6 months,
then rides around on her back. Weaning is completed by one year of
age.
