Fun Facts:
The Koala is one of Australia's most iconic creatures, but it is widely misunderstood. The adorable Koala is not a bear. It is a marsupial, like the kangaroo. Infant koala's are not born ready to start navigating on their own. Rather, they are placed in the mother's pouch where they can safely develop for a period outside the mother's womb.
