koalas
Fluffy Australian climbers
Koalas is the plural of koala, a tree-dwelling marsupial native to Australia.
Koalas have round faces, large ears, and a distinctive black nose.
They spend most of their time sleeping in eucalyptus trees, whose leaves form their primary diet.
Despite the common misnomer "koala bear," they are not bears.
The zoo's koalas are always a hit with visitors.
