The strong legs and shart claws help the koala grab on to the trunk. It has very short hind legs. The koala spends most of the daytime sleeping in a fork of a tree. When a young koala is ready to live on its own it moves away from its mother to another tree. Koalas can live to be 15 to 20 years old.
Koalas are very good swimmers.
Koalas have a weird call that sounds like sawing wood.
