Furry

Author's note: I think that Koalas are very furry so I wanted to learn more about them.

           Your walking in the forest in hunt to find a really interesting cute animal what do you think you would be trying to see. Honestly you would probably want to be looking for the koala bear they seem to be the cutest and the one that would want to be cuddling. It gets me the most how furry they are, but the real reason they have so much fur is because they have to protect themselves from the heat and the cold. They say it is like a rain coat, because it is so thick. Some people say that humans used to hurt koalas for their fur, because of how pretty it is.
            Another thing that I like about the koala is how they act. They are always up in trees and crawling along the branches. Supposedly they are in a tree because they need the moisture from the leaves, because they don’t drink much. Although if you see them not in a tree they are either jumping to another tree, or trying to get some shade. If they don’t want the moisture or eating then they are probably sleeping. The koala sits in the tree for 18 hours of the day just napping and resting.
            Apparently their isn’t a lot of their land left because people hunt them and tear down their habit. Now there are strict laws against that, and they are trying to help them and keep them living. Hopefully sometime if you ever go in the forest you can see one and maybe if they aren’t scared of you then you can go and pet them.
