Koalas

Koala’s are a furry marsupial which are only found in Australia.  They eat over 300 eucalyptus leaves a day. 

There are over 600 koalas in Australia.  Koalas are grey in colour.  They have two beaming blue eyes, three fingers, one big black nose and very sharp claws.

Koalas start off as a little grey dot and are born the size of a jelly bean.  They start opening their eyes after two weeks and then grow features like ears, feet and hands.  When the Koala’s are about six months old it stars hanging on its mum’s back.

 

Koala’s are at risk of being extinct, so don’t cut down the existing gum trees.

Koalas

Koalas are marsupials and are only found in Australia.

Koalas are grey and have two eyes, one nose, two ears, two arms, two legs and one pouch.

Koalas eat gum leaves. They drink the juice that drops from gum leaves. They don’t drink from ponds, rivers the sea or lakes. They don’t ever go on the ground.

We need to stop cutting down gum trees or koalas will become extinct.

                     Koalas

Koalas are marsupials that can only be found in Australia.

The koala`s fur is coloured brown or grey. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves which give them water. Koalas stomachs are white.

Baby koalas are as small as a jelly bean.  Koalas have razor sharp claws, small ears and brown eyes. Koalas sleep for the day is because eucalyptus leaves are tough so they need to digest them.

Koalas are dying because people are chopping down gum trees down.
