The koala


The koala is an animal of the Phascolarctidae family. It is an herbivorous and mammal animal of Australia.

The koalas measure between 61 and 85 cm and they weight between 4 and 14 kg. The koalas that live in cold areas are bigger than the ones living in warm areas.
They have a lot of hearing because they are nocturne animals. The big nose of koalas is exceptionally sensitive. It knows a lot of different ways for the survival. This animal isn’t endangered but is in the list for a lot of Scientifics.

This animal lives on trees of the Australian forests (especially in the eucalyptus trees). The populations of koalas can only spread if they are in a suitable habitat. A few koalas can live in these conditions. If an area is reduced, the number of koalas that live there lowers

The koalas especially feed of leaves and fruits of the eucalyptus’ trees. Many other trees are used for other things, such as sleep.

The koala isn’t endangered but if we continue polluting their habitat, they will eventually become extinct.
