Koala is a cute Australian animal, reminding the teddy bear. Many even call it "Koala bear", but this is incorrect, because the koala has nothing to do with bears.
Koala is a lazy animal, he sleeps about 20 hours a day. Koala feeding on many species of eucalyptus leaves, which uneatable for most other animals.
It is hard to believe that 100 years ago, koalas were on the verge of extinction. People are almost completely wiped out these lovely animals for the sake of valuable furs.
Now, koala is under reliable protection, and from year to year, their numbers are increasing.
Koala is not so common animals like kangaroos, and they are not so often seen in the wild form. Nevertheless, there are many places where koalas are found in abundance, such as Otway National Park in Victoria, or a Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is curious that koalas not found in Tasmania and Western Australia.

The word "Koala" came from the aborigines vocabulary, it means "do not drink." This is surprising, but the koala is actually receives moisture from the eucalyptus leaves and therefore does not need to drink. Otherwise, for slow koalas it would be too difficult, if it is not possible to get to a fresh water source.
