It's great to be a KOALA!!!

A koala is a type of bear. They like eating juicy gum leaves and sleeping during daytime. The koala got it's name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" because it receives over 9 percent of it's hydration from the gum leaves that it eats. Koalas only drink water when they are ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves. A koala is a mammal, which can only survive on a diet of juicy gum leaves.

Habitat:

Koalas are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Koalas live in societies, like humans, so they need to be able to contact with other koalas. In Australia there are over 600 types of eucalyptus, but koalas only eat up to 40-50 different types.
