I've left room on the theme wallpaper for your icons and
folders. There is also a second copy of the wallpaper
(called kalender.jpg) that includes a calander for
January to March, 1998.
I am working on more Australian animal themes. Please
contact me with your ideas, requests or for free copies.
We (Lone Pine) also have an monthly e-mail newsletter
with info and images of our animals. To subscribe,
e-mail me. Contact details are at the end of this file.
"Rocky" the koala is a mature male koala. You can tell
this by the brown marking on his chest, which is his
scent gland. 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.
