A baby Koala is referred to as a joey and is hairless, blind, and earless. At birth the joey, only a quarter of an inch long, crawls into the downward-facing pouch on the mother's belly (which is closed by a drawstring-like muscle that the mother can tighten at will) and attaches itself to one of the two teats. Koalas retain the rearward-facing pouch of their terrestrial vomaboid ancestors. Young remain hidden in the pouch for about six months, only feeding on milk. During this time they grow ears, eyes, and fur. The joey then begins to explore outside of the pouch.

A baby Koala is referred to as a joey. Koalas breed once a year between December and March (the Southern Hemisphere’s summer) and only give birth to one baby at a time. Gestation is 35 days. At birth, the joey is very small, only the size of a jelly bean. It measures less than 30 millimeteres in length and weighs less than 1 gram. It is ... hairless, blind and earless.

As such activities don't require a great deal of intelligence, the Koala has decided that a brain is an extravagance. Although Koalas have big heads, 40 per cent of the space inside is just fluid. The Koala is the only mammal on earth whose brain doesn't fit its skull.

Koala paws are well adapted for gripping and climbing trees. The koala’s two forepaws end in five digits (fingers or toes), each with stout, curved claws used for climbing. The first two digits are opposite the other three, as if the koala has two thumbs and three fingers. This paw structure enables the koala to grasp tree branches. Each of the koala’s two hind paws ... has five digits. A broad, clawless first digit is opposite the other four digits.

The Koala lives almost entirely on eucalypt leaves. This is likely to be an evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled ecological niche, since eucalypt leaves are low in protein, high in indigestible substances, and contain phenolic and terpene compounds that are toxic to most species. Like wombats and sloths, the Koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 19 hours a day, sleeping most of that time. Koalas that are disturbed are known to be violent, their teeth and claws capable of providing considerable injury to humans; special handling requirements are as such applicable.[9] Handling of koalas has been a source of political contention due to these risks, which can ... cause harm to the koala as well. [10]Koalas spend about three of their five active hours eating. Feeding occurs at any time of day, but usually at night.
