Extractions: Information on koala bears Many people love the cute koala bear. This animal has been made into stuffed toys all over the world. But it is rare to see this creature alive and moving, because its gradually becoming extinct. This article will give an overview of the koala bear, its living habits and the current war against its extinction. The koala, like the kangaroo, is actually a marsupial. It contains a small pouch for its young, like the kangaroo. For this reason, the koala is not related to true bears. In appearance, it is a combination of a monkey and a kangaroo. Koalas are native to Australia, although they are now chiefly found in New South Wales and Queensland. They are highly protected animals, because their number has greatly diminished in the last ten years. The koala has been hunted since the middle of this century for fur and food, which has moved it from its normal habitats. Today, anyone fund harming a koala is severely punished by the law. bodyOffer(32782) Koalas get their endearing appearance from a covering of gray fur and little tufts of white hair on the sides of their faces. Their eyes are small and black, set in their head. They have large ears and curved noses, but no tail. They use their arms and paws to climb through the trees. Koalas have interesting living habits. They are nocturnal, which means that they move around chiefly at night. Koalas do not stay on the ground. They move from tree to tree, carefully lowering and raising themselves by their paws. Koalas eat only the leaves of the eucalyptus, which is another reason that they are now becoming extinct. The eucalyptus tree is disappearing from their natural habitats, fighting a battle against extinction all its own. Koalas have a surprisingly long life span, which can range from 9 to 20 years, in rare cases.

Extractions: The Koala Bear Introduction The koala bear is a small bear found only in Australia. It can reach up to two feet in height and weigh up to thirty pounds. The koala bear has very small eyes, a prominent beak like nose, and tufted ears. The koala bear has gray fur and has no tail except for a short rounded stump. In the mouth of a koala bear there are pouches which are used to food. The koala bear is in the order of marsupial which means that the babies live in their mother's pouches until they are old enough to live on their own. The koala bear resembles the sloth in it's manner and movement. Like the sloth, the koala moves very slowly and spends much of the day sleeping. Habitat The koala bear lives primarily in trees but will occasionally descend to the ground to lick dirt or to move slowly to another tree. When a koala licks the earth, the dirt is able to aid the koala in digestion of its food. If a koala is forced out of its tree, then its main concern is to find another tree to live in. A koala lives in the topmost branches of trees and will never live in the hollows of trees. A koala usually sleeps during the day, curled up on a branch at the top of a tree. At night the koala bear climbs to the topmost branches of gum trees to feed on their main food, the shoots of eucalyptus. The koala will eat twelve species of eucalyptus plants, and the koala is a vegetarian so they eat no meat. Different breeds of koala bears feed on different species of gum trees. The gum tree is the only source of food for the koala and without gum trees it can not survivie. Koalas found on the east coast of Australia feed primarily on the spotted gum tree and the tallow wood trees, and in Victoria Australia koala's feed primarily on red gum trees.

http://geography.about.com/library/misc/ucteddy.htm

Extractions: Guest Column by GeoT Dateline: 06/21/00 The teddy bear is sometimes questioned with a possible relationship to the Australian Koala "bear." The origin of the teddy bear is somewhat in dispute. Most believe the teddy bear was contemporaneously created in both Germany and the United States. That's not so hard to believe (for two guys in different parts of the world took gasoline engines and turned carriages into automobiles). So, why not teddy bears? Well, it probably did happen that way. The official year is agreed upon: 1903. The Leipzig Toy Fair of Germany was the place 3,000 of the friendly little bruins were first ordered for the U.S. market. The name Teddy is a little different situation!

Extractions: KOALA BEARS, EVERYBODY LOVES THEM I am a marsupial -> A koala can be very fast on the ground and can be mistaken for a wombat. Koalas are the best known and most loved Australian animal. Many people call them koala bears but koalas are not bears. Relatives: Koalas are marsupials and are related to wombats, possums and kangaroos. Although wombats live on the ground, wombats are the closest relative to a koala. Koalas spend most of their time in trees, because they only have a short tail. Location: Koalas are only found in Australia. They live in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. I eat leaves-> Features: A koala has special pads on its feet for strong grip for climbing. On a cold day koalas curl into a tight ball to keep warm. Meal Time: Koalas eat the leaves off some gum trees, because these gum leaves contain a lot of water. Koalas usually don't need drinks. The name 'Koala' is an aboriginal word meaning 'no drink'. A koala eats up to 500grams of leaves. I am a wombat, not a cute cuddly Koala bear -> Breeding: The koala mates from December to March and a single offspring only 2cm long, blind and hairless is born up to 35 days later. The young forces its way through its mother's fur to reach her pouch. The baby koala then sucks milk from its mother's teat. The koala will stay in its mother's pouch for nine months.

Extractions: Koalas only feast on Eucalypt trees and their favorites, swamp and manna gums, are showing severe signs of over grazing on the island. Current strategy to save the habitat - and the koalas themselves - is a sterilization scheme - The teddy bear is sometimes questioned with a possible relationship to the Australian Koala "bear." The origin of the teddy bear is somewhat in dispute. Most believe the teddy bear was contemporaneously created in both Germany and the United States. That's not so hard to believe (for two guys in different parts of the world took gasoline engines and turned carriages into automobiles). So, why not teddy bears? Well, it probably did happen that way. The official year is agreed upon: 1903. The Leipzig Toy Fair of Germany was the place 3,000 of the friendly little bruins were first ordered for the U.S. market. This is where the Illinois Central Railroad enters the picture. The Illinois Central was, once, briefly, the longest railroad in the world at approximately 700 miles. It was built from the southern part of Illinois northward through the center of the state. The destination was Galena in the far northwest - home to lead and zinc mines. Chicago was a secondary branch line back then. The Teddy Bear is named for President Theodore Roosevelt, and, the ICRR was indirectly involved. Here is how it happened: The President of the ICRR invited President Roosevelt to Mississippi for a bear hunting adventure. (By that time the IC had reached the port of New Orleans.) After hunting for three days and finding no bears, his hosts were concerned that the President’s bear hunt would be unsuccessful. Someone turned up with an old bear (some suggest it was a cub) chained it to a tree, and invited President Roosevelt to shoot it, thus he could say he had "bagged a bear." Admirably, the President refused. This story reached the Washington Post newspaper, and a cartoonist depicted the incident calling it "Drawing the Line at Mississippi." The story spread throughout the nation. Thus, a bear became President Theodore Roosevelt’s symbol.

Extractions: Koalas are tree-dwelling, marsupial animals that live only in eastern Australian eucalyptus forests. Koalas thrive on eucalyptus leaves, box leaves, and mistletoe, and may not leave their treetop dwellings for days at a time. Eucalyptus leaves are poisonious to most mammals, but not koalas. They eat 2-2 1/2 pounds of food a day. They spend 20% of their time eating and 80% of their time sleeping. Koalas are the most loved marsupial mammal. Formerly hunted for their soft fur, they are now protected by law. Koala, common name for arboreal marsupial animal that in appearance somewhat resembles the toy teddy bear, and in habits somewhat resembles a sloth. The koala reaches a length of 60 to 85 cm (24 to 33 in) and has a maximum life span of 13 to 18 years. It has a large, round head with large, round, furry ears and a stout body covered with thick ashy-gray fur. The animal has a vestigial tail. Its legs are short; its feet are large, and each has five toes, two of which are opposable to the other three. Each toe bears a strong claw. The female bears one young at a time. The young koala is then kept in the marsupial pouch for about six months, after which time the female carries it upon her back until it is half grown. Did you know that the baby koalas are called joeys? Well they are. The mother will have 1 young every 2 years. Twins are rare. On Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia, koalas and their habitat are under threat. Eighteen Koalas were originally introduced to the island in the 1920,s. The colony has now swelled to the five thousand mark and they are literally eating themselves out of house and home. In stark contrast the koalas of Queensland and New South Wales are fast dwindling in numbers due to disease and loss of habitat caused by humans.

Extractions: The year 2000 saw a phenomenal increase in bear attacks on humans. Both black and grizzly bears across the continent attacked humans at an astonishing rate. Is this the result of continuing intrusion into wild habitats by humans, or are other invironmental or climatic factors at play? In Bear vs Man, writer-photographer Brad Garfield chronicles resent bear attacks through dramatic photographs and text, interviewing the victims who survived, and the search crews of those who didn't. Along with the attack stories, Garfield discusses the various reasons for the alarming increase in the attacks, instructs readers on new methods and equiptment that can protect people during an attack, and offers tips on how to behave traveling in bear country so as not to become a victim. Lastly, he compiles his knowledge of how to photograph bears in the wild while still remaining safe and causing no harm to these amazingly powerful animals. "I saw her black eyes glare at me and then without warning she dropped and became a blurred brown object barreling at me. I instinctively went into a defensive mode. I immediately dropped, face down, and placed my rifle underneath my right elbow...she went for my head and started chewing. She wasn't able to get my whole head in her mouth, so when she bit down, her teeth would grade and slide off my skull."
