Leaving outside the metropolis, you find yourself in a eucalyptus forest. All familiar with the refreshing aroma of childhood - the smell is very Australian. More than 90% of the vegetation of the continent consists of different kinds of eucalyptus. Age-old forests - places shelter hundreds of species of animals and, of course, the best known and loved all the koalas.
Right on the roadside trees slowly chewing eucalyptus leaves absolutely charming teddy bears. Most of the day koalas sleep, hiding from the scorching sun in the Australian eucalyptus leaves, and only occasionally darting from tree to tree.
Cloudless existence of koalas violate danger due to forest fires and disease. Nearly 70% of the population suffer from chlamydia, which strongly affects the ability to reproduce. More than half of the males - are infertile, the vast number of females as well. Australians care about Koalas in all possible ways. Healthy females are caught and artificially inseminate to restore the population.
