Koala - AI+digital painting by Donna Kennedy-edited in PS and Topaz Studio…
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are mammals, and they have round, fuzzy ears and look cute and cuddly, like a teddy bear. But koalas are not bears. They are members of a group of pouched mammals called marsupials. Marsupials include kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, wombats, possums, and opossums. Koalas look soft, but their fur feels like the coarse wool of a sheep. They also seem cuddly, but koalas are not tame, and they don't make good pets.
Koalas are native to southeastern and eastern Australia, living in forests of eucalyptus trees. They need to sleep a lot to give them time to digest their food. Being on the ground all the time would be a disadvantage, because predators could catch them easily. Instead, they adapted to live way up in eucalyptus trees. Koalas are naturally solitary, they are most active at night and spend most of their time napping and eating. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves.To conserve energy, koalas sleep 18 to 22 hours a day.
