Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus victor
I'm a Koala and I'm a postcard too!
Koalas are found only down the east coast of Australia. They sleep in the forks of trees most of the day and feed on various types of eucalypt leaves at night. Because eucalypt leaves have a high water content, koalas rarely need to drink. Males are highly vocal and have a scent gland on their chest, particularly during the breeding season. A marsupial, the female raises o ...

Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus
A hundred years ago, millions of these marsupials (animals that carry their young in a pouch) existed in Australia, and it was a popular sport to shoot them out of the trees. They were easy targets, as the presence of people doesn’t seem to disturb them and they are placid and friendly by nature.
In the early part of this century, millions of these animals were slaughtered for their soft, durable, silver-grey fur, and were approaching t ...

Koalas aren't bears. They aren't even related to bears. The koala is related to the kangaroo and the wombat. The koala is a mammal. The reason the koala is called a koala bear is because the koala looks like a teddy bear. The koala's scientific name is Phasclarctos cinereus.
Now there are only 2,000 to 8,000 koalas in the wild! Although not officially classified as endangered, the population of Australian koalas has dropped by 90% in less than a decade!
This is due to the destruction ...

Koala Bear
Genus: Phascolarctos
Species: cinereus
This fuzzy marsupial is very muscular, quite lean, and is about 33 inches long. It has a fuzzy coat of fur, big floppy ears, and almost no tail! It's got a stubby little nose, small yellow, beady eyes, and strong bones to support its heavy body while climbing trees. Now you may wonder; how much do those strong bones have to support? Well, the females weigh between 13.2 and 24.2 lbs., while the male weigh between 17.6 and 30.8 lbs.

Koalas
Joeys
The first thing you need to know, is that koalas are not related to the bear. So there! A joey (a young koala) takes 30 days to be born. When the joey is born, he is the size of half a nickel. After he is born, the joey uses its strong front legs in order to crawl to the pouch, which opens from the back. Once inside the pouch, the joey attaches itself to the source of milk, the nipple. The joey stays there for 7 months. After the 7 months, the joey comes out of the pouch for the ...

Koalas are marsupials and belong to a class of animals that are among the oldest inhabitants of the planet. They go back over 50,000 years when many species of marsupials inhabited the earth.
The word marsupial is Latin for purse or pouch.
Koalas are found only in Australia.
Koalas are nocturnal, as are most marsupials. They awake when the sun sets. Koalas are by nature arboreal, living peacefully and almost solitary lives, in the tops of the eucalyptus trees. They have one of the most ...

We can find out about how animals live by looking at their teeth.
Look at the diagram of the dog's teeth and then go to the other examples of skulls and teeth and compare each group of teeth (incisors, canines and molars) to see how they are modified for different types of food.
Let's look at a dog's skull - a familiar animal, to get an idea of the basic structure of a skull and jaws an ...

KOALAS
Koala is the common name for arboreal marsupial animal that in appearance somewhat resembles the toy teddy bear, and in habits somewhat resembles a sloth. The koala reaches a length of 60 to 85 cm (24 to 33 in) and has a maximum life span of about 20 years. It has a large, round head with large, round, furry ears and a stout body covered with thick ashy-gray fur. The animal has a vestigial tail. Its legs are short; its feet are large, and each has five toes, two of which are opposable ...

Daisy Hill Forest is only about 5 minutes from our school and the bushland area between Daisy Hill and Redland Bay is the most significant remaining koala habitat in Queensland.
Our two Year 3 classes visited Daisy Hill Forest to gather information about koalas.The children walked along the boardwalk to the Koala Centre.

Koalas
Koalas look so much like living teddy bears that many people call them koala bears. But koalas are not bears at all. They are members of an unusual group of mammals called marsupials. Like all marsupials, koalas have pouches they use for carrying their babies. And the only thing cuter than a fuzzy, friendly- looking koala is a sleepy koala baby peering out of its mother's pouch.
How they hunt.
The only thing a koala will hunt is its favo ...
