Koalas spend all of their time out in the opwn, in eucalyptus (gum) trees. Because of this, they need fur that will insulate them against both the heat and the cold, and also against wet weather. The nature of koalas' fur ensures that the water will not soak through to their skin, and it also has the insulating effects of keeping them warm in cold weather, and blocking out the heat in hot weather.
