Koalas and Their Young at Water Sources
In Australian wildlife sanctuaries, wooden water troughs supply clean drinking water during dry seasons when eucalyptus leaves lack sufficient moisture. Young koalas, known as joeys, ride on their mother's back after outgrowing the pouch, observing their surroundings from a safe position.
Physical Characteristics and Care of Joey Koalas
A baby koala stays in its mother pouch for about six months before climbing onto her back for another six months of travel. Their thick fur insulates them from heat and cold, while strong curved claws enable effortless gripping onto bark and thick fur. Wildlife sanctuaries install low water basins to assist native marsupials during heatwaves.
