The Koala Resting on Branches

The koala has broad furry ears, a rounded nose, a compact body, and paws wrapped around the branches for support. One heavy branch rises beside the animal, while another slopes downward beneath it. Small tufts of fur appear around the ear edges. The uncluttered setting keeps attention on the seated koala and the branching structure it uses as a perch.

Curious Facts About Koalas

Koalas spend much of their lives in eucalyptus trees, where they feed and rest away from the ground. Their front paws have strong claws and opposable digits that help them grasp trunks and branches. Eucalyptus leaves contain relatively little usable energy, so koalas conserve energy by resting for long periods.
