Koalas | a 7 Image Story
Koalas | a 7 Image Story Koalas are just so cute. You have to love them. Now, they need our help. They are native to eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees are plentiful. But now, the fires are killing the koalas and destroying the eucalyptus trees.
Koalas look cute and cuddly; yet watch out for those nails. Their zoo handlers wear special leather gloves. Wild koalas are not docile and will defend themselves if a human tries to touch them.
They mostly sleep during the day; tucked away in the eucalyptus tree branches. When not sleeping, they eat; only eucalyptus leaves. Each koala eats about two and a half pounds of leaves a day.
The term “koala bear” is a misnomer. Koalas are actually marsupials that belong to the same family as possums and kangaroos. Female koalas carry their babies in her pouches for six months after giving birth. There are about 50 koalas in North America spread across 11 zoos with the San Diego Zoo having 25 alone. These images were captured at the San Diego Zoo.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Koalas.
