The Koala, also called Australian sloth, belongs to the family of phascolarctidae of which it is today the last living representative. This nocturl animal is measuring between 61 & 85cm & has large round ears, a stocky body & short limbs. It is easily recognizable thanks to its silvery brown-gray woolly fur, whose regular maintence allows the rain to bead. The koala can sleep up to 20 hours a day & feeds mainly on eucalyptus from which it draws all its water supply. Did you know that a koala does not drink a single drop of water during its lifetime ?
