Koalas are marsupials that are native to the east coast of Australia
They have a very specific diet of eucalyptus leaves and will live in trees, eating and sleeping for significant portions of each day.
They are very sensitive to noisy environments and human disturbance, often refusing to eat if they feel unsafe in their environment.
Koala numbers are decreasing rapidly due to loss of habitat from bush fires, logging and human encroachment.
