1 The koala is one of the best known and most loved animals in Australia.

2 Koalas live in lightly wooded areas containing suitable food.

3 They are very fussy eaters, feeding almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves.

4 Koalas seldom drink, as they obtain enough water from the diet of leaves.

5 The koala sleeps in a fork of a tree for most of the day and moves about and feeds at night. It is most active just after sunset.

6 The koala is often incorrectly called a Koala Bear. It is not related to the bear family at all, as it is a marsupial mammal, not a placental.

7 A koalas average life span in wild is about 12 years, but they have been known to live for over 15 years in captivity.
