Embroidered Koala Hoodie

• Picky Eaters: Koalas feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus, preferring only a few varieties out of hundreds of species.
  
• Masters of Rest: They sleep up to 20 hours a day – necessary because their diet is extremely low in energy.
  
• Mistaken Identity: Their fingerprints are so similar to human fingerprints that they are barely distinguishable even under a microscope.
  
• Loud Surprise: Despite their size, koalas can emit deep, roaring sounds – especially during mating season.
  
• Climbing Artists: With strong claws and prehensile paws, they move safely through the treetops.
  
• Backward Pouch: The koala mother's pouch opens backward – perfect for life at lofty heights.
  
• Territorial Residents: Koalas live alone and mark their favorite trees with scent glands on their chests.

Koalas rely on specific eucalyptus forests along Australia's east coast. However, their habitat is shrinking – deforestation, climate change, and the expansion of human settlements are increasingly threatening their survival.

Koalas belong to the family Phascolarctidae and are unique marsupials – their closest relatives are wombats.

In the wild, koalas typically live to be 10 to 15 years old – females often live a little longer than males.

Koalas are between 60 and 85 centimeters tall and weigh approximately 4 to 14 kilograms, depending on sex and region – males are generally more robustly built than females.
