With distinct fluffy ears and a stout body, they spend most of their time sleeping, up to 18-22 hours a day. Koalas face threats like habitat loss, disease, and bushfires, impacting their population. Conservation efforts, including protected reserves and rehabilitation facilities, aim to safeguard these beloved creatures, highlighting the need for their preservation in Australia's biodiversity.
