Description: Koalas are certainly a one of a kind animal. They are very specialized for life lived in the trees. They have a round body covered with fur that is quit dense. There’s not much of a tail to speak of, and they have claws designed to hold onto the trunks of trees with. If they do find themselves on the ground, they use a sort of a bounding action to get across the ground. Koalas aren’t really what you’d call social butterflies. In fact, they’d rather not have anything to do with each other, other than mating and raising the young. They just don’t seem to interact at all. The koala has special adaptations to the diet. He has teeth that are designed to grind the leaves quite well so digestion is easier to accomplish. There are toxic compound in the eucalyptus plant which the koala liver copes with and excretes. He even has microbes in his intestinal tract that help break down the eucalyptus leaves into a usable form. This is not really a high energy diet, and the koala spends 18 hours a day sleeping. That’s more than your average lazy housecat! Ever since my daughter was a young girl and had a stuffed koala to play with, this little marsupial has been in my consciousness. I hope you find this sterling silver koala charm suitably interesting for your purposes. You can shop for other animals by going to the silver wildlife charms home page where you will find a classy rhino silver charm and many others. |
