Look Up

We have a lot of Bush-land around our area and in particular we often drive a section of road and look up for "Drop Bears". This Koala was perilously balancing on a limb; oblivious to the traffic below, and obviously where the best Eucalyptus leaves are......

Look at the image on the left and see if you can spot the Koala. The image on the right is a closer look at this cool guy.

Koalas aren't bears as many people are led to believe. They aren't even related to bears. The koala is related to the kangaroo and the wombat. The koala is a marsupial mammal. The reason the koala is called a koala bear is because the koala looks like a teddy bear.

The koala's scientific name is Phasclarctos Cinereus.
