Mother Koala and Joey Resting in a Tree

A female koala often carries her young joey on her back once it grows too large for her pouch. Eucalyptus trees supply both shelter and food, allowing koala families to spend nearly their entire lives nestled high in the branches.

Australian Tree Dwellers

Koalas possess strong paws with rough pads and sharp claws designed for gripping smooth tree bark. Young koalas cling tightly to their mother's dense fur as she climbs between high perches in the eucalyptus canopy.

Authentic Colors of Koalas

  • Body fur: thick silver-gray to brownish-gray
  • Chest and chin: soft cream or off-white
  • Nose: dark charcoal or leather black
  • Eucalyptus bark: pale gray, tan, or soft brown
  • Eucalyptus leaves: muted olive green
