Koala

Koalas are popular around the world for their cute and innocent appearance. These happy looking animals belong to the Australian continent, and fall under the same marsupial class as kangaroos. Koalas or koala bears are vegetarian animals, and eat eucalyptus leaves. Though they are called koala bears, koalas are not bears! Their relatives are wombats and other marsupials like kangaroos. Their resemblance to the teddy bear must also be noted.
