It was easy, wasn't it? Koala is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae. The closest living relatives of koalas are wombats. The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is easily recognizable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, spoon-shaped nose. Koalas sleep up to 20 hours a day and live for 20 years or more.


A koala's baby is usually called a ‘joey’.
