The Koala is one of Australia's most loved native animals. Koala's are soft, grey-brown, fury animals about 75 cm (2' 6'') long and they are highly specialised for arboreal life.

Koala's hands have a vice-like grip together with very long arms and curved claws. Their tales have been replaced by a callus pad which enables them to sit for long periods of time in forks of trees without discomfort.

These rigorously protected animals are found in eucalypt forests along the east coast of Australia and for decades zoos and wildlife sanctuaries around the world have worked tirelessly to obtain breeding pairs of this endangered species.
