Koala Cuddle and Snuggle
Ever wondered why this marsupial is so clingy? After 35 days for the incubation period, a little baby koala is born, and for 6 months is carried everywhere in its mother's pouch. Then for an entire year, they clutch to the mom's belly and back. After some time, the baby starts eating a heavy diet of Eucalyptus leaves, which they can digest easily, because of their long gut, and they also can't be poisoned by it because of it. Eating up to 2 and 1/2 lbs of food everyday, the koala's average weight is only 26 lbs. Most koalas mostly live in Australia where the temperature there is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The lifespan of this cute and cuddly thing is 13-18 years.
