Besides only being found in the wild here in Australia, these native marsupials are unique in so many ways. For starters, they’re one of the sleepiest (not to mention cutest) animals in the world.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you want to know more about these beautiful mammals, including where you can see koalas in Queensland, these are some lesser-known facts about koalas.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003E1.

Of the 700+ species of eucalyptus trees in Australia, they only eat around 50 species. Often, they will climb all the way to the top of the tallest trees for their next meal, as that’s where the juiciest, most nutrient-rich leaves are found.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor most animals, eucalyptus leaves are poisonous. However, koalas have a special fibre-digesting organ, called a caecum, that helps them to detoxify the chemicals in the leaves.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003E2.

However, on extremely hot summer days, eucalyptus leaves dry out and koalas may need to supplement their diet with water.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you stumble upon a thirsty koala during bushfire season or a heat wave, make sure you don’t pour water from your bottle directly into their mouth. They need to lap up the liquid at their own pace, otherwise the water may flood their lungs and they could get pneumonia.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E3.

Southern koalas are larger, furrier and have darker fur than koalas who live in warmer northern states like Queensland. Males have coarser-looking fur than females and are up to 50% larger in size.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E4.

Born blind and without fur, these marsupials are about the size of a peanut when they enter the world and remain in their mum’s pouch for six months while they grow and develop.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA female koala’s pouch opens from the bottom to allow the mother to move up tree branches without the pouch getting caught and to prevent it from filling with bark and leaves.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E 5.
