Koala ecology

 

I will explain about trivia of koalas, which are very popular in Australia. The origin of the name
"koala" is a word "colo" in indigenous language meaning "do not drink water." But in fact, they drink
water when they are sick or lack water. Imagine koalas. I think that you imagine a koala clinging to
a tree. Actually, it regulates body temperature, in other words, it regulates to survive. Koalas eat
only ten out of six hundred kinds of eucalypts and take water from them. However, they cannot
take enough nutrition from eucalypts so they spend as long as twenty hours a day sleeping on
trees to preserve their strength. Koalas move slowly basically but can run 25 km/h at a short
distance. And, to cling to trees, they have strong grip and considerably sharp and big nails. Are
you interested in koalas? I like koalas more.
Thank you.
