• This koala is in a sitting pose, which is suitable as a display
• Australiania memorabilia – paint it with the Australian plants or gum leaves – a real work of art.

About Koalas

• The Koala is not a bear
• The Koala is a marsupial which is a mammal having a pouch like a Kangaroo.
• Interestingly, this adorable animal, unlike other famous marsupials, has a pouch that opens downward and consequently, its joey also faces rearward.
• While it appears to be fluffy and comfortable enough to replace your bed mattress, the wool of a Koala is quite coarse like that of a sheep to insulate it from the elements.
• They have opposable “thumbs” on both hands and feet to have a better grasp on trees
