Description
This Koala was trying to snooze on his perch of the gum tree. Koalas are not bears. They are not placental or 'eutherian' mammals, but MARSUPIALS, which means that their young are born immature & they develop further in the safety of a pouch. It�s incorrect to call them �Koala bears' - their correct name is simply 'Koalas'.
The Koalas are now a threatened species as their habitat is being destroyed at a fast rate. The Koalas only each certain types of gum leaves.
