The Brisbane Koala Bushlands are part of the Koala Coast Network that is one of the most important koala habitat areas in Australia. It also extends into parts of Logan City and Redland Shire. The Koala Coast protects between 3000 and 5000 koalas, as well as many other native animals. Wow! Hope to get to see one here then!
Did you know? The word "koala' is thought to have come from an Aboriginal word meaning "no drink' because koalas obtain most of the moisture they need from gumleaves. In 1814, the koala was given the scientific name Phascolarctos cinereus, (that’s a mouthful) meaning 'ash-grey pouched bear', by French and German naturalists. Today we know that the koala is NOT a bear. It is a marsupial.
Oh – so we can’t make any BEAR jokes, because a Koala is not a bear? No – that would be un-bearable!!
OK – for the kid in all of us, let’s get the bear minimum of bear jokes out of the way now!!!
What is a koala bears favourite snack? Bearitos.
What does a koala pack in their suitcase? The bear necessities.
What is a koala's favourite type of fruit? Bearies.
How do koalas eat eucalyptus? With their bear hands.
How do you apologize to a koala? You bear your heart and soul to them.
Why was the koala fired from their job? Because they only did the bear minimum.
Yeah, there’s heaps more, but hey – let’s remember Koalas ain’t Bears!
