Koala is the lovely Australian small animal reminding a teddy bear. Many even call it "Mishka Koala", but this name is incorrect as the koala has no anything the general with bears. The koala is a lazy small animal, he sleeps about 20 hours in day. The koala eats many kinds of eucalyptus leaves which are inedible for the majority of other animals.The word "Koala" came from the dictionary of natives, it means doesn't drink". It is surprising, but the koala actually receives moisture from eucalyptus leaves and therefore doesn't need drink. Otherwise, for sluggish koalas it would be too difficult if it isn't impossible to reach from the wood to a source of fresh water.It is difficult to believe that 100 years ago a koala were on the verge of disappearance. People almost completely exterminated these lovely animals for the sake of valuable fur. Now the koala is under reliable protection, and year by year than them becomes more increasing. Koala not so ordinary animal as a kangaroo, and them it isn't so often possible to see in wild a look. Nevertheless there are many places where koalas are found much, for example Otway National Park in staff Victoria, or Kangaroo Island in South Australia
