koalas

Koalas. Mother koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) with her young. These marsupials, or pouched mammals, live alone or in small groups in forests and woodlands in Australia. Adult koalas eat leaves from around 12 species of eucalyptus trees, sleeping during the day in low tree branches. 35 days after copulation the single young koala crawls from the uterus into its mother's pouch. There it attaches itself to a nipple. It stays in the pouch for eight months, before emerging to cling to its mother. Young koalas continue to feed at the nipple until they are one year old. Photographed in Queensland, Australia.
