Koala (Phascolarctos Cinereus)

Size. Head-body: 680-820 mm. Weight: 7-13.5 kg. Males are larger then females. Northern animals are smaller with shorter fur.
Behaviour. Active mainly at night, they are usually resting in the upper branches of Eucalypt trees. Koalas sleep up to 20 hours per day. They are solitary animals and have been know to attack other Koalas in their marked territory. They make a wide range of sounds including bellowing, high pitched yelps, soft grunts, snarls, wails and screams.
Development: Koalas mate in trees, giving birth to a single young (sometimes two) from October to March, 34-36 days later. Newborn attach to one of two teats in the rear opening pouch, which they vacate at 6-7 months, they then ride on the mother's back until weaned at 1 year, females are sexually mature at 2 years, males at 3-4 years, and live to 15 years, mostly survive only 3-4 years.
Food: Eucalypt leaves, water, although they can survive without water during the winter months.
Habitat: Eucalypt forests and woodlands, mainly on the eastern side of Australia.
Status: Common. Threatened by land clearing, their natural habitat has been reduced to make way for farmland and housing estates.

Australia has a few Koala Hospitals set up to help save the species, the main Koala Hospital is located at Port Macquarie NSW. They rely on donations, so if you can please help, I am sure it would be greatly appreciated by our furry little friends.
