The name
koala was given by the Aboriginal which means no
drink. It is just because the koalas are animals
that don’t drink a lot, the reason is that the
eucalypt leaves has enough moisture and is enough
for these animals to live with.
Koalas are known as lazy animals, they spent eighty
percent of the time sleeping. Koalas don’t like
moving around during night or daylight but mainly
short after sunset for feeding and bark loud at
other koalas.
The main food and almost only one are the Eucalypt
leaves. There are different Eucalypt trees and the
koalas can feed on around twelve species of Eucalypt
trees.
The koalas
are usually ash grey in color, with a white chest
and have a thick fur. The koalas have flat nose,
large hands which help them to climb the trees and
strong limbs.
There is in Australia two koalas sub species, the
North and South varieties.
The koalas mate usually during the summer between
October and February. |
