Koala - On the move - a photo on Flickriver

Koala - On the move again!
The koala is an arboreal herbivorous mammal. A marsupial (pouched mammal), and native to Australia. Its closest living relatives are wombats. They are not bears!

A Koala diet consists basically of eucalypt leaves and they live in forests of eucalyptus trees. Since eucalypt leaves have a high water content, the koala does not need to drink often. They are sedentary animals that need to sleep a lot to give their food time to digest, up to 20 hours a day. They are predominantly active at night and spend most of their waking hours feeding.

Hope you enjoy!
