Koalas are mostly found in Australia. The distribution of koalas covers Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and a small area in South Australia.
Koalas can sleep up to 18-22 hours every day as they get very little energy due to their leaf-based diet.
Their diet primarily consists of eucalyptus leaves, which are toxic to most animals. They can digest it due to their good tolerance levels.
Koala’s literal translation is “no water” which means they get all the hydration from the leaves they eat and barely drink water.
Female koalas share features like a Kangaroos as they have pouches where they carry their babies (joeys) for about 6 months.
Koalas are generally solitary animals and start living in a territory away from home. They only come together during mating season.
Koala have a strong ability to smell which helps them in making better food choices as they first sniff leaves than decide to eat.
