Mother koala and young (Phascolarctos cinereus) eating leaves in a tree. The young koala (left) is called a joey. The koala is an arboreal (tree- living) marsupial. It is relatively sedentary and sleeps for up to 18 hours a day. This is due to its poor diet,which consists mainly of the leaves from a few species of eucalyptus trees. The koala inhabits the forests of Tasmania and eastern Australia,living alone or in small groups. Photographed in Australia | |
