KOALA

,,,,,One of the most interesting animals in Australia is koala. They live in the eastern part of Australia. This is take koala we saw at the zoo. It is female and it is about 68 cm tall.
,,,,,Koala is mid-sized marsupial with thick, dense fur ranging in color from slate grey to reddish-brown. They have an opposable modified index finger that acts as a second thumb. Their life span is about 12-14 years in wild.
,,,,,They almost never need to drink, they get most of their water from the succulent eucalyptus lives they eat. They eat it so much, some say they like a giant eucalyptus cough drop.
,,,,,A koala spends over 14 hours a day sleeping. They are perfectly designed for their tree-dwelling life. Their hands have a large gap between the first and the second fingers and their big toe is set at a wide angle to the foot. This gives the koala a vice like grip on branches. They comfortably sit in a tree all day because of their thickly-padded tails.
