The koala never drinks because it gets all the liquid it needs from leaves.Koala" is the aborigine word for "no water".
The koala is an excellent swimmer, crossing rivers in order to survive heavy flooding.
Ironically, many koalas are killed in sanctuaries by being run over by cars belonging to visitors.
A newborn koala is only the size of a lima bean. Its hind legs are barely formed, but its forelimbs and claws are relatively well developed. It drags itself to the pouch following a trail of saliva laid down by its mother.
