Koalas live about 10-15 years. Koalas don’t normally have to drink water. They usually get enough moisture from leaves. A baby koala is known as a “joey.” Koalas are mostly active at night.Some people refer to koalas as “koala bears,” but they are not bears at all. They are marsupials. Koalas also sleep between 18 and 22 hours each day. The word “koala” is thought to mean 'no drink' in the Aboriginal language. A newborn koala is only the size of a jelly bean. Koalas eat 1 to 1.5 pounds of leaves per day. Soon after the joey is born, it crawls into its mother's pouch, where it remains for about 6 months. Koalas can not be a pet.
