The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupial which averages about 9kg (20lb) in weight. Its fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" because it receives over 90% of its hydration from the Eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves. ie during droughts etc. The koala is the only mammal, other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. 'Habitat' refers to the types of bushland that koalas like to live in. They are found in a range of habitats, from coastal islands and tall eucalypt forests to low woodlands inland. Koalas today are found in Queensland , New South Wales , Victoria and South Australia . Their range extends from the Atherton Tableland west of Cairns in Qld to islands off the coast of Victoria and South Australia in the south, and west to central and western Qld, NSW and Victoria. Koalas live in societies, just like humans, so they need to be able to come into contact with other koalas. It is because of this they need to have areas of suitable eucalypt forest which are large enough to support a healthy koala population and to allow for expansion by maturing young koalas. Koalas are highly territorial and in stable breeding groups, individual members of koala society maintain their own "home range" areas.

Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Animal Face Off Videos Koala, an Australian marsupial (animal that suckles its young in a pouch). The koala lives in trees and feeds almost entirely on eucalyptus leaves. Its sturdy, tailless body is about 24 inches (60 cm) long. The koala has large, rounded, shaggy ears. Its fur is mostly ashy gray. The koala has strong claws which it uses for climbing. The large toe of each foot and the first two fingers of each forepaw are opposable. Since the early 1900's, the number of koalas has greatly decreased, mainly because of loss of habitat. The koala has shaggy ears, gray fur, and strong claws for climbing. Which Marsupial Looks Like A Bear? The koala (koh AH luh) looks like a teddy bear, but it is not a bear at all. Koalas are marsupials. Like kangaroos, female koalas have pouches where young koalas feed and grow. Unlike kangaroos, however, koalas have pouches that open to the rear of the body. Special muscles around the opening of the pouch can be closed to hold a baby inside. This way, young koalas remain safe as their mothers move around. Koala mothers and their young enjoy a close relationship. A baby koala lives in its mother’s pouch for about seven months. Then it rides on its mother’s back for the next six months. The baby koala even sleeps in this “piggyback” position. If a baby koala gets separated from its mother, it will give a loud cry. The baby will cry until it is reunited with its mother.

Kool Koalas "I wish no living thing to suffer pain" Percy Bysshe Shelley "A universe is indeed to be pitied whose dominating inhabitants are so unconscious and so ethically embryonic that they make life a commodity, mercy a disease, and systematic massacre a pastime and a profession" J.H. Moore "...Analogously, suppose extraterrestrial beings of a higher intelligence than ours were to invade our planet. Would they be morally justified in destroying and eating us simply because we did not measure up to their levels of intelligence and they like the taste of our flesh?" Philip Kapleau "If a man is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practise kindness towards animals, because he who is hard to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals" Kant "Very few people question it is an act of kindness to put an animal to death if it is injured beyond hope of a pain-free future; or that it is better to neuter our pets than allow thousands of unwanted litters to be born. But mention it might be better for a breeding sow in a farrowing crate if she had never been born, and you will be met with chants of "Any life is better than no life". Humans have an odd way of justifying activities that bring them pleasure, or profit, or both" Bronwen Humphries ALF FAQ koalas.org

Im April 1999 wurde von der Koala Preservation Society of New South Wales inc. die Aktion "Adopt A Wild Koala" gestartet. Im September 1999 griff ich diese Idee auf. Viele Koalafreunde haben sich daraufhin bei mir gemeldet, um die Patenschaft für einen Koala zu übernehmen.
