Koala joeys are unable to see for the first couple of months of their life.
Koalas, like all mammals, blink in order to lubricate their eyes. Blinking cleanses the eye and brings moisture to keep it clean, flushing away dust particles.
Koalas have brown eyes (not yellow as is sometimes reported). They are born with a slightly blue tinge, but this tends to fade as they get older. An exception to this is a joey born at one of Australia's theme parks, Dreamworld, named Logan, but nicknamed "Frankie" for his intense blue eyes.
