Description of an animal
Endangered animal koala bear
Though often called the koala "bear," this cuddly animal is not a bear at all, it is a marsupial.
Koalas live in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees they love are most plentiful. In
fact, they rarely leave these trees. That is why they are usually called "treehuggers".
Koalas have thick, grayish fur, with white on their chests, inner arms, and ears. They have
large furry ears and leathery noses.The koala has large, sharp claws to assist with climing tree
trunks. The koala is one of the few mammals that have fingerprints.
Koalas do not live in big groups, they rather prefer to be alone. Koalas consume eucalyptus leaves and
bark from 12 different eucalyptus tree species. Koalas rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a
day, sleeping most of that time
