Australia, the smallest continent in the world, is a very interesting country. There are many things to see, from desserts to beautiful beaches, from historical old houses to modern buildings, from unusual trees and plants to unique wildlife.

One of the most amazing animals of the world is the koala. It lives only in Australia and on some of the nearby islands.

Though koalas look like teddy bears they are not bears. The koala is the relative of the kangaroo, which is the symbol of Australia. Koala mothers also have small pockets where the tiny baby koalas grow like kangaroos. After a baby has been in the pocket for 6-7 months, it leaves the pocket and starts to eat the leaves of the eucalyptus tree¹.

Koalas have nice large ears, big dark eyes and black noses. Koalas also have thick

fur which protects them from hot and cold weather and which is also a raincoat

for them.

Koalas spend as many as 18 hours a day sleeping and resting in the trees they live in. Sometimes they come down to the ground to look for another tree, but they seldom jump from one tree to the next. Koalas live-in the forest with other koalas, but each has its own trees which the other koalas don’t visit.

The word “koala” means “doesn’t drink”. Of course, as drink when necessary, but they get most of their water from the eucalyptus leaves which they eat. There r many kinds of eucalyptus trees in Australia, but only eat the young leaves of some eucalyptus they practically never eat anything else.

Koalas are endangered animals. Many years ago killed the animals for their fur. Now strict protect koalas from hunters, but people have cut many forests with eucalyptus trees. Now they are trying to save the rare forests with their wonderful land small teddy bear-like animals.
