The
koala is known as the Australian bear, but is much closer to
being a relative of the kangaroo. They are only found wild in
the woods of Australia. Koalas are arboreal marsupials living
in Queensland and Victoria. They eat the leaves on the eucalyptus
trees.
Koalas
are 2 to 2 1/2 feet long, tailless, and have thick, soft, grayish
fur. They have large furry ears, a curved, black nose, little
eyes, and five toes on each foot so it can hold on to things
and climb.
