The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a tree dwelling, herbivorous, mostly nocturnal marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat exclusively, only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements.

What does koala mean in aboriginal?

The name 'koala' is thought to have come from an Aboriginal word, possibly kwala - meaning 'no drink' (sometimes translated as "no water"). This is because the koala does not need to drink, taking in all its moisture from the gum leaves it chews. It tends to only seek extra water during prolonged drought or heatwaves.


Which Australian animal's name means no drink?

According to some websites, koala means "no drink" in Aboriginal language. According to Wikipedia, this is incorrect. If you look up the word koala in the Online Etymological Dictionary, it says "1808, from the Aboriginal name of the animal, variously given as koola, kulla, kula." However, it is true that koalas rarely drink water. They usually get enough water from their food. There was a picture recently (2009) in the news of a koala rescued from a wildfire in Australia that was given water from a bottle and accepted it, but the fire would have made the koala thirsty and in need of water.
