Mother koalas can only have 1 baby a year but up to 6 in a life time. Koalas are like kangaroos, they have a puch on their stomach, so when the baby koala (Called:Joey) is born they climb into their moms pouch and attaches themselves inside, they grow fur, gets bigger, the eyes open. it lives in the pouch for six months, then it transfers onto the moms back and nurses and hangs out there, by this time the baby koala looks like an acctual koala. so when the next joey is born, last seasons baby is fully ready to live on their own and leavs the mom :)

Btw this may have a lot of typos hehehehe

Thirty-five days after a treetop mating, the female gives birth to one joey. At about 0.5 grams and 2 cm in length, it crawls into her rear opening pouch and attaches itself to one of the two teats.

After about five months, with its eyes open and its incisor teeth emerged, the joey makes its first appearance outside the pouch. During this time, the mother produces a green faecal pap that inoculates the baby with the necessary bacteria for a gum leaf diet.

The joey leaves the pouch at about seven months and clings to its mother's back. This is when the joey learns to climb and find its own food. At about twelve months, the joey is a self fed and relatively independent juvenile.

Koalas are marsupials and they nurse the young of of the milk produced by mammary glands.
