The Koala is a nocturnal MARSUPIAL native to
Australia. Bearlike in appearance, it has
thick, grey fur, a tailess body 2 to 2½ ft
(60 to 75cm) long, a black nose and large
fury ears. Its diet consists of only one
species of eucalyptus (The Gum tree) at a
particular stage of maturation. The koala has
been hunted for food and fur and is now
endangered.
