Koalas

Average precipitation in Alabama ranges from 54-64 inches per year, depending on the specific location.

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a tree dwelling, herbivorous, mostly nocturnal marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. Their closest relative is the wombat. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat exclusively, only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.

A koala is not at all related to a raccoon.

• When the joey is born, it is tiny - about half a gram in weight -, blind and hairless. It moves into its mother's pouch, purely by instinct and attracted by the smell of the milk which its already-keen sense of small picks up.
• Once in the mother's pouch, the joey then latches onto a teat, which swells in its mouth, securing it firmly so it does not fall out of the pouch.
• The koala baby, called a joey, feeds only on mothers' milk for 6-7 months.
• To make the transition from mothers' milk to eucalyptus leaves, at about 6-7 months the joey begins to feed on "pap", which is actually a special form of the mother's droppings through which she can pass onto her joey the micro organisms which allow for digestion of eucalyptus leaves. One of the reasons the koala has a backward-opening pouch is so that the joey can stick its head out and feed on this pap which comes from the mother's own digestive system.
• When the joey grows too large to fit in its mother's pouch, it still feeds a bit on mother's milk, lying on her stomach to feed, and spending the rest of its time firmly attached to her back. It only leaves "home" when the next breeding season starts.

No. Koalas are not found anywhere outside of Australia. Australia is on the other side of the world from the Arctic.

Koalas are not bears. Koalas are indigenous to Australia.

The koala has strong forearms and sharp claws to enable it to climb eucalyptus trees. It does not build a home, but it can stay indefinitely in eucalyptus trees, thanks to its opposable thumbs and the positioning of its rear toes. It has a pouch in which it feeds and shelters its young through its early development.

They didn't really, they were trying to kill themselves. They would try to maneuver to avoid the antiaircraft fire so they did not get shot down before reaching their targets, but that was all. Michael Montagne Or, did you mean how did the ships try to protect themselves from the kamikazes? The ships used anti-aircraft guns and carrier-based fighters.

No. Koalas do not actively mimic anything.

Koalas do not actually live together, although they do live within complex social communities. There can be several dozen living in regions which overlap each other's home ranges, and there may be two or three inhabiting the same tree at any given time.

The koala's habitat is dominated by eucalyptus trees, but there are many other native plants as well. Melaleucas and wattle (acacia) are very common, as is callistemon. Grass trees are often found in the area as well.

35 days after the male and female koalas mate, the tiny koala joey emerges blind and hairless and moves into its mother's pouch, purely by instinct and lured by the smell of the mother's milk. At this stage it weighs about half a gram. Once in the mother's pouch, it then latches onto a teat, which swells in its mouth, securing it firmly so it does not fall out of the pouch. The koala joey feeds only on mothers' milk for 6-7 months.

To make the transition from mothers' milk to eucalyptus leaves, at about 6-7 months the joey begins to feed on "pap", which is actually a special form of the mother's droppings through which she can pass onto her joey the micro organisms which allow for digestion of eucalyptus leaves. No other animal lives solely on gum leaves, and special proteins are needed to digest them. One of the reasons the koala has a backward-opening pouch is so that the joey can stick its head out and feed on this pap which comes from the mother's own digestive system.

When the joey grows too large to fit in its mother's pouch, it still feeds a bit on mother's milk, lying on her stomach to feed, and spending the rest of its time firmly attached to her back. It only leaves "home" when the next breeding season starts.

Babies are white and are small, and not like the adult they're not yellowish

Answer:

Between November and February, cubs are born blind, covered with a light white down fur. As the cub grows up, an outer layer of guard hairs (which are hollow and transparent by the way) cover a layer of dense underfur which gradually turns from white to yellow. During my two trips to the Arctic we saw a few mother bears with cubs, however they were slightly older and already had the yellow fur.

Koalas drink their milk from their mother.

Koalas are not bears; nor do they hunt.

Koalas are marsupials, and entirely unrelated to bears. They are herbivorous, living almost exclusively on the leaves and flowers of certain species of eucalyptus in Australia.

Koalas do not live in Florida at all. They are native to Australia alone.

Koalas have numerous special features to enable them to live in their habitat.

Koalas live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix.

Koalas have very strong claws suitable for gripping trees and climbing. Between their first and second "fingers" is a large gap, which enables them to also grip tree branches comfortably, whilst their hind legs have one toe set at a wide angle. They also have toes with thick pads which enable them to sit comfortably in a tree all day.

As with all marsupials, the koala has a pouch, where the joey stays after birth for up to ten months. When the joey leaves the pouch, it stays for several more months on the back of their mother. The pouch opens backwards. After about 30 weeks, the mother 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.

Koalas in southern regions have thick, wool-like waterproof fur to keep them warm in cold weather and dry in rain. Koalas in northern regions are smaller, with less dense fur.

Tests have not been carried out on the speed with which a koala climbs a tree. Suffice to say that a koala is not as quick as some of the smaller marsupials, such as possums and gliders, but they can muster up enough speed to get out of the way of a predator.

No. However, the droppings of the koala's nearest relative, the wombat, are distinctly cube-shaped.

Koalas can only bear one offspring at a time. Although twins have been recorded.
