Having to sleep 19 hours a day in the fork of a tree may not sound very comfortable to us, but a koala couldn抰 ask for a more luxurious bed! As sleep experts, they certainly know the best positions and poses; some almost look like contortionists as they twist and turn in their sleep!

Lone Pine抯 130 koalas live in different homes around the sanctuary, according to their age and gender.

These homes include the 揃oys丒(your typical teenagers), the 揔indergarten丒 (toddlers running amok!) and the 揜etirement Home丒 where the oldies go for a more quiet and relaxed lifestyle.

Make sure you check out each and every home during your visit to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary!

关于考拉

考拉是一种有着圆球状绒毛、尖爪和大鼻子的可爱动物。

这种备受欢迎的有袋动物是澳大利亚的首要标志。

它们的居住地往往被误认为是遍布全澳，可是实际上它们只有在澳大利亚东部沿海地区的一些小小的栖息地被发现。



它们的栖息地的不完整状态是由于牧牛场的开辟、农作物的生长和房屋的建造造成的。

考拉很挑食。它们只吃澳大利亚600种桉树中的50种。

实际上考拉被这些叶子灌醉的说法是虚构出来的。桉树叶子含50%的水分和5%的糖和淀粉，因此这种低能量的食物可以让它们每天睡19个小时来储存能量，这也使它们看起来像喝醉了似的。

考拉用粗糙的脚掌和锋利的爪子爬树。在它们的前爪和后爪有两个相对的脚趾，还有一些后爪的脚趾用来修饰清洁自己。和人类一样，考拉也有指纹。

考拉的字面意思是土著语言上的“无水，无饮料“。

给予它们这个名字是因为考拉几乎从不下地找水喝，因为它们可以从食用的桉树叶上汲取足够的水分。
