Koalas are fascinating marsupials known for their physical traits, like gray and black fur, and their unique thumbs and fingers. They have a special pouch to nurture their babies. Sadly, koalas are endangered due to threats like habitat destruction, disease (like chlamydia), and predation by dogs. To help save them, we can reduce paper usage, avoid purchasing fur coats, and advocate for forest conservation. Fun facts include their sleeping habits (up to 20 hours a day) and their reliance on eucalyptus leaves for food. Learn more about koalas!
