Phascolarctos cinereus
Adorable, gray and white, fuzzy marsupial. This one was rather active as they rest between 16-18 hrs each day. The last image is of a Koala resting.
San Diego Zoo. Koalas spend almost their entire lives in trees and eat Eucalyptus leaves almost exclusively. They are native to Australia.
Koala's are considered a vulnerable species and are NOT a bear.

Thank you! It was nice to see one active although they're darn cute when they're sleeping :)
Lovely!
