Young koala in a tree. The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal (tree-living) marsupial. Females have pouches in which their young suckle and grow. The koala is relatively sedentary and sleeps for up to 18 hours a day. This is due to its poor diet,which consists mainly of the leaves from a few species of eucalyptus trees. The koala inhabits the forests of Tasmania and eastern Australia,living alone or in small groups. Photographed in Australia | |
