In Australia, many animals were mascots, including koalas and kangaroos. But koalas were very famous animals. When Europeans first went to Australia, they saw a kind of bear and named it “Koala”. Now many people call it koala bear, but it isn’t really a bear.

Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves for their only food for their lives. These leaves have some water and some things good for koalas. Unfortunately, they are poisonous, so other animals or people can’t eat it or they will die.


Koalas have many more fun facts like their hands are alike humans, so scientists use a microscope to find out!
