5 Interesting Facts About Koalas!

Koalas sleep for up to 22 hours a day - their diet of eucalyptus leaves is so low in nutrition and so toxic that they need to conserve enormous amounts of energy just to process it.
Despite looking like bears, koalas are marsupials and more closely related to wombats and kangaroos - the 'koala bear' name is a misnomer that has stuck despite being scientifically wrong.
Koalas have fingerprints almost indistinguishable from human fingerprints - even under a microscope, it's extremely difficult to tell them apart, making them the only non-primate with this feature.
Baby koalas (joeys) eat a special substance called pap produced by their mother - essentially a softened, pre-digested form of eucalyptus that introduces the gut bacteria needed to tolerate the toxic leaves.
Koalas have two opposable thumbs on each front paw - giving them an extraordinary grip on branches and the ability to climb smooth, vertical eucalyptus trunks with ease.
