Answer 2

At birth, a koala joeyresembles a kidney bean. Less than 2cm long, it is pinl, hairless and blind, and without the prominent ears it has as an adult. Its grey oval nose is discernible.Most of a joey's (baby koala's) development takes place in the mother's pouch. As it grows, it begins to actually look like a koala. By the time the young koala is old enough to crawl out of its mother's pouch, it is a miniature replica of its parents.

Answer 3

Yes. It's significantly smaller.

At birth, a koala joey is a tiny, pink, hairless, helpless embryo, recognisable only by its distinctive large, oval nose. It looks nothing like an adult koala. Koalas only take on their parents' characteristics as they grow.

Answer 4

• Baby koalas are called joeys
• Being marsupials, they are born undeveloped: pink, hairless and weighing about half a gram. They are around 2cm in length, but their larhe nose is already distinguishable.
• They drink mother's milk during their first 6-7 months of life. After 30 weeks, the mother also produces a substance called pap. This substance is actually a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves.
• Baby koalas emerge from the mother's pouch at around six months, and cling to their mother's back. They stay with the mother until the next breeding season, the following year.

Answer 5

Newborn koalas are tiny - between one and two centimetres long, and weigh about half a gram. They are pink, blind and hairless. They do, however, have a large, recognisably oval nose, which is a tiny version of the adult koala's distinctive black, oval nose.
