Introduction to koala

Koalas, also known as koalas, are Australia's national treasures and rare primitive arboreal animals. Because koalas get 90% of the water they need from eucalyptus leaves, they only drink water when they are sick and dry.

Koalas generally belong to Nocturnal Animals. They are active at night and dusk, because it can save more water and energy consumption than when the temperature is high during the day. During the day, I usually curl up and perch on eucalyptus, and then go out for activities at night, climb up and down the branches and look for eucalyptus leaves to satisfy my hunger.

I have lived under eucalyptus trees for most of my life, but occasionally I fall to the ground because of changing habitat trees or swallowing gravel to help digestion. Feeding on eucalyptus leaves and branches, eucalyptus leaves are their only food. They almost never drink water in the fields because they can get enough water from eucalyptus leaves.

Matters needing attention

1. Koalas are mainly distributed in low-altitude and sparse eucalyptus forests in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. The natural enemies that koalas face are mainly Australian wild dogs, foxes and eagles.

2. The loss and fragmentation of koala habitat caused by human activities is the biggest threat to koala population. The urbanization process in Australia's coastal areas and human activities such as jungle reclamation in inland areas have directly led to a sharp decline in the number of koalas.

In order to save koalas, many volunteers in Australia began to adopt koalas. They carefully raise orphaned koalas who have lost their parents, treat koalas injured in the wild, and release them into the wild when they reach adulthood or recover, enriching the population.
