Koalas are essentially grey. They have woolly light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly. Mature males have a brown stain on their chest, the result of a gland which produces an orange coloured discharge. This is used to mark the trees the male climbs (and attract females) by rubbing this gland against the base of the tree and the trunk.

However, koalas are not always grey. Albino koalas have been recorded, but are extremely rare. Furthermore, southern koalas tend to have fur that is darker and tending more towards brown than that of koalas found in the northern parts of Australia.

What doses Gray Koala eat?

The diet of koalas is mainly eucalyptus leaves or the leaves of gum trees. Their diet doesn't consist of much else because the ability to digest eucalyptus leaves is fairly specific to their species.
