Hi! Who are you?
I'm a koala.
Koalas are marsupials.
Female marsupials carry their babies in pouches.
Where do you live?
Koalas live in Australia.
We like forests.
We like to be in trees.
Are you a good climber?
Koalas are great climbers.
We use our feet to grab branches.
Is that your tree?
Yes. Each koala has its own trees.
We mark our trees with scratches.
Male koalas mark their trees with their scent.
Where do you sleep?
Koalas sleep up in the trees.
We sleep for most of the day!
What do you eat?
Koalas eat leaves from one kind of tree.
We have pouches in our cheeks.
We store extra leaves in them.
Who are your enemies?
We're usually safe in our trees.
But wild dogs and owls sometimes eat koalas.
I'm tired from eating so many leaves!
I'm going to sleep now.
Good-bye, Koala!
