Round eyes，round head，round ears，round body! What is this lovely little animal? He looks like a bear．But he is not a bear．He’s a KOALA．People in Australia love koalas and take care of them．They have set up places for them to live safely．No one can kill them for their pretty fur(毛皮)．When a koala is born，he has no fur．And he is not as big as your little toe(腳趾)! The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body．The baby goes into this warm pocket．There he stays for six months．

    when the baby leaves the pocket，he has much fur．And he is about as big as your shoes．He climbs to his mother’s back．He rides there while she teaches him how to find food．Mrs. Koala is a loving mother．He takes good care of her baby．But when he is bad she beats him! The baby cries just as a small child does．If he keeps on crying，his mother beats him again．When he stops crying．she takes him in her arms．And then both go to sleep for a while．

    The koala could not live without a special kind of tree．The tree gives him both his home and his food．For most of the day the koala sleeps in the tree．

    At night the koala looks for food．He may go miles to find it．He likes only the bark(樹皮)and the leaves of the tree．He eats nothing else．And he eats more than two pounds each night!

    How lovely the koalas really are!
