The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an iconic Australian marsupial, often mistakenly called a "koala bear" due to its bear-like appearance, though it is not related to bears at all. Native to the eucalyptus forests of eastern and southeastern Australia, the koala is known for its stout, tailless body, large round head, fluffy ears, and spoon-shaped nose. Its thick, soft fur varies from silver-grey to brown, providing insulation and camouflage among the treetops. Adult koalas typically measure 60–85 cm in length and weigh 4–15 kg, with males generally larger than females.

Koalas are arboreal, spending most of their lives in trees, clinging to branches with their strong limbs and sharp claws. They are herbivores with a highly specialized diet, feeding almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves, which are tough, fibrous, and low in nutrition. To cope with this, koalas have an unusually long cecum and a slow metabolism, allowing them to extract maximum energy from their food. Because eucalyptus leaves contain toxins, koalas have evolved a unique liver to detoxify them.

These animals are solitary and maintain overlapping home ranges, communicating through bellows, growls, and scent markings. Females give birth to a single joey after about 35 days of gestation. The tiny, underdeveloped joey crawls into its mother’s pouch, where it stays for six months before gradually exploring the outside world.

Koalas sleep up to 18–20 hours a day to conserve energy, often curled up in the forks of trees. Although they were once widespread, habitat destruction, bushfires, disease (especially chlamydia), and climate change have caused significant population declines, leading to their vulnerable status. Conservation efforts focus on habitat preservation, disease management, and rehabilitation of injured koalas.

More than just a symbol of Australia, the koala is a fascinating example of adaptation and survival in a specialized ecological niche.
