Koala

The koala resembles a bear cub, in fact, its thick, silky fur gives it an almost cuddly appearance. Although this animal is a gray marsupial, with white and whitish spots on the hindquarters and central region, respectively. It has a round head, hairy ears and a flat nose. As for the hands, they are characterized by being perfectly adapted to arboreal life and the practice of hygiene. They are agile enough to jump vertically and horizontally. They live in eastern Australia, where there are more eucalyptus trees.

Nocturnal animal, the koala lives solitary lives in the trees. Moreover, it can become very aggressive when confronted with an intruder who wants to share its territory. It likes to sleep perfectly installed in the fork of a branch. When it is cold, it tries to roll itself into a ball to protect itself and maintain its body heat. It sleeps during the day and feeds at night. 

The female has a ventral pouch called the marsupium, where the young complete their development inside it. Normally, this pouch has an opening at the top, although in the case of the koala it is downwards. This orientation makes it easier for the young to feed on a fecal slurry produced by the mother, so that in the future they can feed on the toxic leaves of the eucalyptus.
