#73 Koala Bear, Australia

The Koala Bear (Phascolarctus cinereus) looks soft and cuddly but it feels more like a brillo pad! This shy and private animal moves slowly due to the eucalyptus leaves it eats- which secrete a chemical similar to a sleeping pill. The Koala is a marsupial that is found only in Australia.
