  leaves. Gum leaves do not contain gum. It is just
  the type of tree they name it after.

  except for the ones in other countries zoos. In
  the wild it can get very hot so most of them are
  getting killed by wild fires.

Protection

• The Koala Bear doesnt really have to protect
  itself because it lives most of his/her life in
  the trees.

The Koala Bear Babies

• A baby koala is called a Joey. When the Joey is
  born, it is only about 2 cm long, blind, furless,
  and its ears have not quite developed. It goes
  into its mothers pouch. Before it can eat
  leaves, it must eat Pap, which the mother
  provides. When it is to big for its mothers
  pouch, it leaves and is on its way.

  eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus leaves contain
  enough moisture to supply most of the koalas
  water needs.
• Koalas have slow metabolisms. They sleep for most
  of the day.
• 3. Females almost always have only one baby at
  a time.

2 more interesting facts about koalas.

• 4. Baby koalas are called Joeys.
• 5. Koalas almost became extinct. But due to
  conservation efforts, koalas have made a
  comeback. Loss of natural habitat due to logging,
  residential construction and real estate
  development, and farming still keeps koalas at
  risk.
