        Koalas, those adorable, furry, gray, button-nosed creatures hanging on the sides of trees, are only found in Australia. It’s no wonder they’ve become a symbol of the country. Read on to learn five more fascinating and fun facts about koalas!

Baby koalas live in their mother’s pouch♦.
        Just like kangaroos and other marsupials, koala babies are born deaf, blind, and hairless. They spend the first half-year of their lives in a warm pouch on the front of their mother’s body. Also like kangaroos, koala babies are called “joeys.”
