Listen to the facts of this wonderful creature and you will be amazed about what all you did not know about the Koala. To start things off, the Koalas scientific name is //Phascolaictos cinerusadustrus// and they live all over Australia! They live in trees and eat Eucalyptus. Did you know that when a Koala is first born they way about 5.7 grams and are about the size of a thumb nail? Although, when they get older they do not weigh that much more, they weigh about 20 pounds! Koalas are actually marsupials but are mistaken for bears. Koalas live for about 20 years. The Queensland Koalas are land mammals that have hair and produce milk. They are warm-blooded animals and give birth to live offspring and don’t lay eggg  s.

They breed one to two times per year and they have special pouches which is where the young find their way to after they are born. They stay in the pouch for up to seven months. Koalas live in Australia but they are often mistaken for bears. Koalas communicate by “bellowing” to each other. They are supposed to be very lazy, but when they want food, they can climb extremely fast to the top of a Eucalyptus tree and leap from one to another to get the food. Koalas can drink, but they rarely do, although they are great swimmers. They spend their days chilling out in a tree and spend their nights consuming lots of food.
