Koalas - Phascolarctos cinereus

Koalas are nocturnal herbivorous marsupials, which mainly feed on eucalypts of the kinds "Red Gum", "Manna Gum", and "Grey Gum". At daylight they sleep in branches high up in the trees. In Waratah Park* this can be observed. Follow the signs with drawings of koalas which read "look up, can you find it".

Most of the koalas live in South East Australia.
