First Name: CHARLIE Animal Species: Koala Critically Endangered (Red List Assessment): VU Vulnerable Species ■ About Koala Koalas are found throughout the eastern and coastal regions of Australia and feed on eucalyptus leaves. They have strong limbs, sharp claws and opposing thumbs, which makes them good at clambering. Koalas are nocturnal marsupials and spend most of the day sleeping in the branches of trees, but at night they climb high and eat several pounds (1 pound = about 0.45 kg) of eucalyptus leaves. Newborns weigh less than 1 ounce (about 28.4 g) and crawl into their mother's belly pouch on their own and spend up to 7 months there. Since the life of koalas is made up of eucalyptus trees, they are very susceptible to changes in the environment.
