Contrary to what people think, koalas are not lazy, slow and sloth-like. They sleep for majority of the day because the nature of their diet (eucalyptus leaves) requires a very slow metabolism in order for digesiton to occue. When they are on the ground they can move quickly, however, and they are agile climbers. As with many species, males are territorial.
