Description:
Koalas are short and stocky animals with dense, woolly fur which is light grey in the northern part of the range and brownish-grey in the south. The underside is white, while the large flat nose is black. Northern animals are also much smaller than their Victorian equivalents, males of which may reach of 80cm in length and weigh 14kg. Koalas have very sharp claws, which are excellent for climbing and can be used in defense. |

Habitat:
Because of their limited diet, the koala is only found in the eucalypt forests of eastern Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, as well as the far south eastern part of South Australia. They move around regularly, travelling between favourite food trees. They do not make any type of nest or shelter. |
