Koala Bears - Anita

• Koala bears are bearlike arboreal Australian marsupial that has thick, gray fur and feeds on Eucalyptus leaves.
• Koala Bears are not related to bears as many people are led to believe. Koala Bears are actually related to Wombats and Kangaroos.
• Koala Bears get their name from "teddy bears" because they look like them.
• Koala Bears have thick, gray fur, a large hairless nose, round ears, no tails and white stomachs. 
• Koala Bears eat Eucalyptus leaves. They don't drink much water because they get moisture from the leaves. They also consume a lot of food - about two and a half pounds everyday!
