do koalas live in the rainforest?

The Koala is one of Australia's best known animals and is found only in Australia. It is an Australian icon – people recognize, love and adore these cuddly creatures all over the world.

Koalas are often referred to as a Koala bear, because they look like a cute fluffy teddy bear. However Koalas are not bears. They are Marsupials, which means that they carry their young in a pouch. The koala's closest relative is the wombat – they both have backward-facing pouch.

The name Koala comes from an Aboriginal word. It means "no drink", as Koalas get enough fluids through the eucalyptus leaves they feed on. Koalas are found all over east Australia, mainly in the south east.

In 1816, the koala was given its scientific name, phascolarctos cinereus, meaning 'ash gray pouched bear'.

Koalas are nocturnal. That means they sleep most of the day and are most active at night. They are very placid animals, and do not move around much, they are only active for about 2 hours of the day. A Koala spends 75% of its life sleeping.

Koalas have two thumbs on their front paws - to help them climb, to hold onto the tree and to grip their food.

When koalas are born, they are only 2 cm long, which is about as big as a jellybean! A Koala's baby is called a 'Joey'.

KOALAS DO NOT LIVE IN RAINFORESTS OR DESERT AREAS. They live in tall eucalypt forests and low eucalypt woodlands. There are about 600 varieties of eucalypts, but Koalas eat only about 120 of these. Koalas in a specific area would prefer to eat only about 4-6 different types.

Between 1908 and 1927 over 2 million koalas were hunted and killed for their fur. Today, although Koala is not officially an endangered animal, their population is shrinking, due to the destruction of their natural habitat. When purchasing our cuddly Australian made soft toys you are helping to save Australia’s wild koalas and their habitat, as we make regular contributions to the preservation of the Australian wild animals.
