The gorgeous stuffed koala bear can be found in the eucalyptus trees of eastern Australia.
The koala stuffed animals rarely ever come down from their home and most of the day they sleep in these trees for up to 18 hours, which is 75% of their lifetime. After the sun sets, the stuffed koalas will move around their tree and will begin talking or "barking" to nearby koala friends.
The koala bear stuffed animals have super soft fur with unique ears that have extended white hairs on the very tips. The stuffed koala bears can live as long as 17 years. However, the stuffed koala bear has been around for at least 40 million years due to fossil remains. After a koala stuffed animal has died, another stuffed koala bear will not move into the newly vacant territory for up to a year. Until the previous koala's scent and tree scratchings disappear.
Koala bear stuffed animals have a slow metabolic rate due to their low nutrient diet, which consists of eucalyptus leaves. Stuffed koalas are one of the only animals that can survive on a diet such as this. To most animals these leaves are very poisonous. However, the koala stuffed animal has a special digestive tract to process the toxins and take in the nutrients. Each stuffed koala bear eats up to 500 grams of leaves per day. The koala stuffed animal rarely drinks water due to getting most of the water from these leaves. The eucalyptus leaves consist of 50% water.
Stuffed koalas are often referred to as the "koala bear", but they are far from a bear and are actually a marsupial. The female stuffed koalas have pouches that they carry their babies in. All female stuffed koala bears will have up to six babies throughout their life time. When a young stuffed koala bear is born they are less than one inch long and weigh less than 1 gram. All baby stuffed koalas are born blind and hairless.
