AUSTRALIAN KOALAS

Australian Koalas are an herbivorous marsupial. The Koala will eat around 200 to 500 grams of leaves per day.

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a thickset arboreal marsupial herbivore native to Australia, and the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae.

Early European settlers to Australia called the Koala the Native Bear, and the Koala is still sometimes called the Koala Bear.

Australian Koalas are mostly nocturnal and can sleep up to twenty hours a day. Each koala has its own home range which is usually made up of around several trees. Their habitat is in the tall eucalypt forests and low eucalypt woodlands.
