Koala II

Koala, marsupial animal who's habits somewhat resemble that of the sloth. The koala reaches a length of 60 to 85 cm (24 to 33 in) and has a maximum life span of 13 to 18 years. It's stout body is covered with thick ashy-gray fur. The animal has a vestigial tail. It's feet are large, and each has five toes, two of which are opposable to the other three. Each toe bears a strong claw. The female bears one young at a time. The young koala is then kept in the marsupial pouch for about six months, after which time the female carries it upon her back until it is half grown.Koalas are found only in eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. The Koala frequents high eucalyptus trees, feeding on the leaves and flowers of certain species of eucalyptus, as well as on mistletoe and box leaves. The Koala is lethargic and often remains in the same tree for days.
