Information and pictures and video

Koalas eat gum leaves.



Here are some pictures and a video of koalas at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia. Dr. Abigail Fusaro (Mrs. Knee's daughter) visited the sanctuary while visiting the Gems in 2009. She even got to hold a little girl koala named Serenity!! See how they can jump (and listen to this male grunt)!

Mrs M saw these koalas at Alma Park Zoo, north of Brisbane. Did you know that koalas are the only other animal besides primates (monkeys and gorillas) that has fingerprints?
