近日,澳大利亚考拉基金会(AKF)发表报告称,野生考拉目前数量已降至只有八万只,意味着并没有足够的有繁殖能力的成年考拉可以支持延续下一代繁衍,出现“功能性灭绝“,可能在未来永远见不到了。你是否真正认识这一物种?今天带大家了解考拉小知识,领略它的真实生活。

With fluffy ears, round heads, and spoon-shaped noses, koalas are known for their lovable faces.

But these sleepy, Australian tree dwellers are full of surprises.

Koalas are not bears, they're marsupials.

Often mislabeled koala bears because of their teddy bear-like appearance, koalas are marsupials, mammals that give girth to undeveloped young.

Like most marsupials, mother koalas have pouches, where baby koalas, or joeys, drink their mother's milk and continue to develop for around six months.

But unlike most other marsupials, koala pouches open toward the bottom.

This allows joeys to access and consume a substance their mother secretes, which aids in the baby koala's digestions.

Koalas have six opposable thumbs.

With sharp pointed claws and rough pads, koala hands and feet are uniquely designed to grip branches.

Their front paws have five digits.
