KOALA (Phascolarctus cinereus)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 884 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KOALA (Phascolarctus cinereus) , a stoutly built marsupial, of the family Phascolmyidae, which also contains the wombats. This animal, which inhabits the
south
 -eastern parts of the Australian
continent
 , is about 2 ft. in length, and of an ash-grey colour, an excellent climber, residing generally in lofty eucalyptus trees, the buds and
tender
  shoots of which form its
principal
  food, though occasionally it descends to the ground in the night in
search
  of roots. From its shape the koala is called by the colonists the " native
bear
  "; the
term
  " native sloth " being also applied to it, from its arboreal habits and slow deliberate movements. The flesh is highly prized by the natives, and is palatable to Europeans. The skins are largely imported into England, for the manufacture of articles in which a cheap and durable fur is required.
