- This koala is in a sitting pose, which is suitable as a display

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
Dimensions: L 69x W 69x H 80 cm
