4 KOALAS GETTING STARTED Do you like koalas? Most people do. They think koalas are cute. Read this selection to learn about this popular animal. 12 KOALAS

5 The koala looks like a teddy bear. Soft, thick fur covers its round body. It has a big black nose and small black eyes. Its ears are large and fluffy. People often call the koala a koala bear. But a koala is not a bear. It is more like a kangaroo. Both animals are marsupials (mahr SOO pee uhlz). Marsupials are born very tiny. They stay in a pouch on their mother s belly until they grow bigger. A young koala is called a joey. A koala looks like a pink jelly bean when it is born. It is less than an inch long. It has no fur. It has no ears. And it can t see. The joey spends about seven months in its mother s pouch. Then it rides on its mom s back for the next few months. The joey leaves home when it is about one year old. KOALAS 13

6 Australia K oalas live in only one place. It s along the east coast of Australia. They make their homes in forests. Koalas live mainly in eucalyptus (yoo kuh LIP tuhs) trees. The leaves of these trees are the only food koalas eat. Eucalyptus leaves have lots of water. So the koala almost never drinks water. In fact, its name means no drink. The koala eats over two pounds of leaves a day. But it s a fussy eater. It smells the leaves first. It picks out only the best ones. The leaves provide little energy. So the koala needs a lot of rest. It sleeps up to 18 hours a day. It often naps in a tree fork. The koala is active mostly at night. That s when it moves from tree to tree to get good leaves. The koala is a good climber. Its paws are built for moving up tree trunks and along branches. Where Koalas Live The koala s body is shaped like a pear. This shape helps the koala sit in tree forks. 14 KOALAS

7 Koala s Front Paw Koala s Back Paw The bottoms of its paws have thick, rough pads. These pads help the koala land softly as it jumps from branch to branch. They keep the koala from sliding down as it climbs up. The koala has sharp claws too. They help it hold onto things. Each front paw is divided into two groups. One group has two thumbs. The other group has three fingers. The front paws are made this way to let the koala get a tight grip when climbing. The back paws have five toes each. The first toe has no claw. It is used like a thumb. The second and third toes are joined together. The koala uses them to comb its fur. The fourth and fifth toes are good for gripping. The koala climbs down trees backward. On the ground, it moves on all four legs. The koalas can run fast. It runs as fast as a rabbit. KOALAS 15

8 In the past, hunters killed koalas for their fur. Today it is against the law to kill koalas. But they are dying anyway. Their worst enemies are people. People have cut down trees on koala land. They use the wood to build homes and farms. New roads have also been built where koalas live. Road signs warn drivers to watch out for koalas. Still cars kill many koalas each year. Koalas also die from attacks by pet dogs. Today most people see koalas only in zoos. The largest koala zoo is in Australia. It s called Lone Pine. Visitors there can hold the koalas. Each koala can be held for just 30 minutes a day. The rest of its day is full. Don t forget. A koala needs lots of time to eat and sleep. 16 KOALAS
