The koala, also known as the koala, is Australia’s national treasure and a unique and precious primitive arboreal animal in Australia. The English name Koala?bear comes from ancient Aboriginal words, which means "no drink". Because koalas get 90% of the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves they feed on, and only drink water when they are sick and drought, locals call it "kwale", which also means "not drinking water."
The koala has a simple and honest body and looks like a small bear. It has thick and soft short gray-brown hair. The fur on the chest, abdomen, inner limbs and inner ears is gray-white. Adult male koalas have a particularly eye-catching brown scent gland in the center of their white chest.
It has a pair of big ears with fluffy ears, a naked and flat nose, and no tail. This is because its tail has degenerated into a "seat cushion" over the long years, and the fur on its buttocks is thick and dense. , so you can sit in the tree for a long time and have a strong sense of balance.
The koala is an arboreal animal and the sleepiest animal in the world. This animal only lives in Australia, mainly inhabits eucalyptus trees, and sleeps about 22 hours a day. When they are awake, they spend most of their time eating, making them a true slacker.
