Males use this gland to mark their territory. Female koalas don't have a scent gland, but unlike the males, they do have a pouch. The start up sound is the koalas' mating call. I know that it sounds like a pig, but I swear it is really a koala. Honestly. Look, if you don't believe me, you'll just have to come to Lone Pine to see for yourself. ======================================================== ABOUT LONE PINE Established in 1927, Lone Pine is the World's first and largest koala sanctuary with over 130 koalas and many other types of Australian animals. Only 15 minutes from Brisbane City, it features over 130 kangaroos that you can touch and feed. Best of all, you can still cuddle a koala at Lone Pine! ======================================================== ABOUT KOALAS Q:What do koalas eat? A:Koalas only eat certain types of Eucalyptus leaves. Out of Australia's 600 species of eucalyptus, koalas regularly eat only around 50! Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water so koalas generally don't need any additional water. "Koala" is an Aboriginal word, believed to mean "doesn't drink", although occasionally koalas may drink water. At Lone Pine, freshly-cut leaves are provided at 3:00pm week days and 9:00am on weekends. Q: Can koalas swim? A: While they are not good swimmers, in an emergency koalas can swim. Q:How long do koalas sleep for? A:Koalas spend about 18 hours per day sleeping or resting. By resting or sleeping most of the day, koalas are ale to conserve their energy. Q: How do koalas stay so clean? A: Koalas groom themselves by combing their fur with their hind claws. The second and third toes are joined together giving a pair of claws which make an excellent grooming tool. Q: Koalas look drunk sometimes. Are they? A: Koalas do not get intoxicated from gum leaves. Their sleepiness is an adaptation to the low calorie content of gum leaves. ======================================================== ABOUT COPYRIGHT Feel free to copy and distribute this theme as long as you do not remove the credit to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
