The koala

The koala is the worlds most sleepiest animal. A koala will spend the majority of its day- about 22 hours- sleeping in its eucalyptus tree.It can hold on to branches with its sharp claws. It can even hold on when it's asleep. Koalas are nocturnal. That means that they sleep during the day and they are very active at night.When a koala is awake it will eat leaves. Koalas are about 21 pounds and 1 foot 11 inches.
