Koala
Did you know that koalas are not bears? They spend 18-20 hours a day sleeping! This is because they need a lot of time to digest their toxic diet of gum leaves.
Koalas live only in eucalyptus forest or eucalyptus woodland. Koalas eat 50g to 1kg of gum leaves each day. Koalas are marsupials. Baby koalas are called joeys and are only 2cm when born! They spend the next 6-7 months in their mother’s pouch where they develop further.
