About Koalas (from Mom)
Lolly wants to know about koalas.
Koalas were lethargic. Their food contains such little nutritional value
that they have to conserve energy. They sleep most of the time. That's
what their claws are for. To hang on to the tree while they sleep. Yes,
the fur is soft, but not as soft as the wombat. A little rough. Koalas
are related to wombats. Both animals have a cartilaginous plate attached
to the pelvis to form a hard rump. Wombats use theirs for wacking
attackers.
