Koala is a lovely small Australian animal reminding a teddy bear. Many even call it "Mishka Koala", but this name is incorrect as the koala has nothing in common with bears. The koala is a lazy small animal, it sleeps about 20 hours а 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. It is difficult to believe that 100 years ago the koala was 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 the number of them becomes more increasing. Koala not so ordinary animal as a kangaroo. Nevertheless, there are many places where koalas are found, for example Otway National Park in staff Victoria, or Kangaroo Island in South Australia.
