Koalas Socks

Despite being called 'koala bears' for many years, koalas are actually marsupials. Bears give birth to well-developed young. Newborn koalas, however, are tiny enough to fit on your thumbnail. They are raised in their mother's pouch.
The closest relative of the koala is the wombat – both animals have pouches which open towards the rear. This is fine for the wombat, but koalas need strong muscles ringing the pouch to keep their young from falling out.
Where do Koalas live? Koalas are found between south-eastern South Australia and Queensland, but only where enough suitable trees have been left. The largest koalas weigh over 10 kilograms and are found in Victoria, while the smallest live in North Queensland and weigh only 5.5 kilograms. Koalas live for between 10 and 20 years.  Shipping Info
