Koala

Where the animal live?

Nowadays the koala can only be found in the east and south of Australia and only survive 43,000

Charateristics:

• Size: Up to 3 feet in length.
• Weight: 7 & 12 kilograms
•  live to be around 15 to 20 years.
• Diet: Koalas eat only 120 types of eucalypto and every night eat 1 kilogram
• Sleep 20 hours during the day, at the night is when they make all activities 

Why is in danger?

1. The peoples hunting koalas because his fur brown or grey is using to make a expensive coats, and to be sold like collection items 

2. The destruction of eucalypto forest cause that koalas starve 

3. koalas are hit by cars on country roads when they can’t find their habitat

4. Over 4000 koalas are killed each year by dogs attacks

For fortunately exist a “Australian koala foundation” that is committed to the introduction of a Koala Protection Act to provide real legislative protection for koalas, but the foundation cannot do all, so please help those koalas.
