Koala

Phascolarctos cinereus

Description:

This was taken on our visit to Featherdale Wildlife Sanctuary in New South Wales, Australia. Their diet is eucalyptus leaves that don’t have that much energy to burn. That's why they just spend most of their time sleeping.

Habitat:

Eucalyptus trees

They're also too smart to move around in daytime. The action is mostly at night :) Welcome back.
