Koala
koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), also called koala bear, tree-dwelling marsupial
of coastal eastern Australia. The koala is about 60 to 85 cm (24 to 33
inches) long and weighs up to 14 kg (31 pounds) in the southern part of
its range (Victoria) but only about half that in subtropical Queensland
to the north. Virtually tailless, the body is stout and gray, with a
pale yellow or cream-coloured chest and mottling on the rump. The broad
face has a wide, rounded, leathery nose, small yellow eyes, and big
fluffy ears. The feet are strong and clawed; the two inner digits of the
front feet and the innermost digit of the hind feet are opposable for
grasping.
