Koalas of Australia A Curious Living Toy Bear
Imaginative travelers would mistake the koala for a living toy bear as it roams eucalyptus trees in eastern and southeastern Australia. The marsupial, about two feet tall and weighing around 80 pounds, sleeps by day, climbs with expert claws, feeds on young eucalyptus leaves, and rarely drinks water. Once abundant, they declined after a disease and hunting, now protected in Victoria and Queensland, with a goal to preserve remaining populations for posterity.
