What is koala?
2 Some have been moved to the islands surrounding Australia, but most of them make their home in East Australia. There is evidence of koala populations in other parts of Australia, but most have lost their habitat due to an increased building and human intervention in the habitat. It is now considered an endangered species.
koala is an arboreal, which means they live in trees. They also have a slow metabolism, which is why they spend almost 20 hours of daily sleep. At birth they are small, the size of jelly. They also miss their fluffy ears and eyes.
For about six months, the child Koala resembles more mature and sets out of the housing to eat the excretion and spent eucalyptus. A year, the child will spend most of his time outside the pouch and eat the primary eucalyptus leaves and sometimes bark.
full -fledged koala can be about £ 17 (7.71 kg), although it varies according to sex. The adult is about 2 to 3 feet (0.6 - 0.91 m). Men are larger than women.
Koala reaches sexual maturity at the age of about two to three years, and the woman will have about 12 children in his life, each of whom is born individually. Koalas in the wilderness live for about 15-18 years. In addition to large ears, they have a large brown to black nose. They have a thick gray to grayed hair with white or cream marks.
The animal's hair made them attractive to hunters who pushed the species almost extinct. This practice stopped in the mid -20th century and an effort was made to maintain the remaining species. This effort was quite successful, although their endangered status is still a problem due to the loss of habitats.
The koala population also suffered where it waspired. The population on the island of Kangaroo led to extreme overpopulation and illness. Although there is an effort to reduce the expansion of the population, enormous support for the Koala community will not allow the killing of animals. Moving back to the Australian mainland was not successful. Strategy for reducing population in current DBoth include arrows filled with hormones on women to prevent reproduction.
koala cannot be called an exceptionally intelligent animal. It has a very small brain that occupies only about 40% of its cranial cavity. On a typical day, she sleeps and takes care of her young. Although it has a huge visual attraction, it is not recommended by the approaching wild. They can be quite grumpy and their considerable claws and strong bites should be avoided. Members of the mainland population may also suffer from chlamydia that could be transmitted by bite.
Although Koala is often called Koala Bear, it is not related to bears. One of his main differences from Bears is that it is a marsupial. It has a much closer relationship to Wombat and other Australia and Tasmania.
