About this document
Koala: Habitat, Variations, and Facts by Emita Daling is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The koala is a native marsupial of Australia that lives primarily in eucalyptus trees. It has thick fur, large ears, and sharp claws that help it climb trees. Koalas primarily eat eucalyptus leaves and sleep for most of the day to conserve energy from their low-nutrition diet. Female koalas typically have one young per year that develops in a pouch and nurses for 6 months before beginning to eat eucalyptus leaves as well. Koalas live solitary lives apart from mothers and young.
