Are koalas bears?
Koala looks like a teddy bear but it is not related to bears at all, and is not as friendly as it appears. Koala is a marsupial that lives only in the eucalyptus forests of the east coast in Australia. It eats hardly anything except the leaves of the eucalyptus. It spends all most its entire life on the trees, sleeping for eighteen hours a day and spending the rest of time in eating. Koalas live alone and do not mix very much except during the breeding season. The female produces a single baby in midsummer after a pregnancy of thirty six days. Their coat is grey to reddish brown in colour, it is white on the chin, chest and under forearms. They live for thirteen years, and in captivity can live up to 18 years.
