Koalas, also known as koalas or koalas, have lived on earth for at least150,000 years. They are actually not bears, but marsupials that serve. The bag on the koala is specially used to feed the baby. & ltBR & gt Koalas are docile, funny and clumsy, and they are one of the most lovely animals in the world. In Australia, koalas are regarded as a symbol of joy and peace. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt "koala" means "no water" in Australian aboriginal language. So, does it really not drink water? Yes, koalas can really stay away from water for months, and some koalas can even stay away from water for life. Don't worry, can't you see the koala chewing eucalyptus leaves? Koalas get the necessary water from eucalyptus leaves. & ltBR & gt koalas only live in places where eucalyptus grows, and they are very picky about eucalyptus leaves. There are more than 600 kinds of eucalyptus in Australia, and koalas only eat 35 kinds of eucalyptus leaves that grow in eastern Australia. Some koalas even eat only two or three kinds of eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous to most mammals, but koalas are not afraid. There is a special enzyme in koala's stomach, which can decompose toxins and oils in eucalyptus leaves. So koalas that feed on eucalyptus leaves are safe even if they eat 1~2 kg of eucalyptus leaves every day. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt In people's eyes, koalas are either curled up on branches, sleeping soundly, sitting still or chewing eucalyptus leaves. So many people think koalas are funny and cute, but they are also lazy animals. & ltBR & gt Actually, this is a misunderstanding of koalas. Koalas are Nocturnal Animals, so of course you have to sleep during the day. When night falls, koalas will jump from branch to branch in search of food. & ltBR & gt Because koalas basically only eat eucalyptus leaves, they don't get enough nutrients, so sleeping reduces energy consumption. Koalas sleep about 18 hours a day. & ltBR & gt Although koalas are agile in trees, they are clumsy on the ground. However, once in danger, they run faster than rabbits. What's even more surprising is that these little things that live in trees almost all day are good swimmers! & ltBR & gt Koalas cry like human babies when they are in a bad mood. Normally, koalas are docile, but if someone irritates them, they are not easy to mess with, and may even bite off the bones of unlucky people. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt The female koala gives birth to a baby koala every year. The baby koala was born before it was formed. Therefore, when the koala was born, it was incredibly small, only about 2 cm long and 6 g heavy, just like a peanut. & ltBR & gt When a koala as big as a peanut finds its mother's pouch, it will quickly climb in and start sucking milk after finding its mother's nipple. Koala babies who stay in their mother's pouch for about 6 months and are covered with fluff and over 10 cm in length occasionally climb out of their mother's pouch. At this time, koala babies will still use their mother's pouch as a sleeping bag and hiding place. When in danger, the little koala will jump into the bag, stick its head out of the bag and secretly look at the outside world. & ltBR & gt When koala babies are too big to stay in the pouch, koala mothers will carry them on their backs. At this time, the little koala's hands and feet have become strong and can hold her mother's body tightly. & ltBR & gt koala babies can eat eucalyptus leaves soon after they come out of the pouch, but at the same time, they should also be suckled. I didn't wean until I was one year old and ate eucalyptus leaves. In this way, they can really start to live independently. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt koalas are endemic to Australia. & ltBR & gt In the east of Australia, there is a large eucalyptus forest. Because koalas eat almost only eucalyptus leaves, this area has become the main wild habitat of koalas. & ltBR & gt Koalas living in eastern Australia are quite different in appearance and fur, because they eat different eucalyptus leaves and live in different areas. & ltBR & gt Australians take good care of local koalas. Next to the road where koalas may cross for food, people will put warning signs to remind drivers to drive carefully. & ltBR & gt At present, it is difficult for people to let koalas live in other countries and regions because koalas are very picky about food. Many zoos in the world have tried to keep koalas, but they all failed in the end. & ltBR & gt Before Australia, a large area of eucalyptus forest was developed and koalas were killed on a large scale, which made koalas in Australia almost extinct. In order to protect the lovely koala, at present, the Australian government has taken a series of protective measures, and the number of koalas is increasing rapidly. Let's look forward to seeing lovely koalas on the land of China one day. & ltBR & gt Koalas in Queensland live in one of the warmest regions in Australia, and their fur is the thinnest of all koalas. & ltBR & gt The koala in New South Wales is considered to be the most typical koala, and its gray fur is deeper and thicker than that in Queensland. & ltBR & gt Victoria koala lives in the coldest region of Australia. Their thick fluffy dark fur can absorb more solar heat than light fur, and can resist the cold better than koalas in other places. Victoria koala is the largest of all koalas.
