Koala
With their fluffy ears and gentle gaze, koalas are instant heart-catchers. Tucked high among the gum trees, they enjoy their days munching on eucalyptus leaves and snoozing in the sunshine.

High in the trees along Australia’s east coast, koalas find the perfect retreat. These gentle marsupials spend their days resting and exploring, capturing the laid-back spirit spirit of the Aussie wilderness.
