Product Information

Moving from one to another of the trees that it has designated as its territory is the most energy a koala will commit in any 24 hour period. The koala bear has a broad face with forward facing eyes, a large head with round tufted ears and an egg-shaped tailless body covered with plush grey to brown fur that is whiter on the undersides and often mottled over the rump. Koala bears may sleep in any number of exotic positions, usually hooking safely into the crook of a branch, but sometimes dangling precariously. Koalas typically inhabit open eucalyptus woodlands, and the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet. Because this diet has limited nutritional and caloric content, koalas are largely sedentary and sleep up to 20 hours a day. They avoid social interaction, and bonding exists only between mothers and dependent offspring.

The nutritional value of this diet is so poor that the koala is designed to conserve as much energy as possible. A healthy adult koala spends about 18 hours a day sleeping - mostly in the heat of the afternoon - and no more than 5 minutes a day in full-bodied exertion. Koalas are not social animals at all, and basically avoid or ignore the other members of the colony, except during breeding season. They do have overlapping territories, where some trees may be shared, and occasionally koalas may meet in a shared tree, but there is very limited, if any, interaction. Koalas spend more than 90% of their lives high up in the trees. They are deliberate climbers and do not swing from branch to branch like some monkey or rodent species. Koalas live alone most of the time, but they have a social hierarchy with the other koalas who live near.Despite having no tail, the Koala has an excellent sense of balance. With a lean, muscular body, and comparatively long, strong limbs, the Koala can support its weight when climbing. The front and hind limbs are nearly equal in length and much of the Koala’s climbing strength comes from the thigh muscle, which joins the shin much lower than in many other mammals.

Because they get so little energy from their diet, koalas must limit their energy use and sleep or rest 20 hours a day; only 4 hours a day are spent in active movement. They are predominantly active at night and spend most of their waking hours feeding. They typically eat and sleep in the same tree, possibly for as long as a day. The Koala’s paws are specially adapted for gripping and climbing. Rough pads on the palms and soles help it to grip tree trunks and branches, and both front and hind paws have long sharp claws. Each paw has five digits; on the front paw, two digits are opposed to the other three–rather like a human’s thumb–so they are both able to be moved in opposition to the other three. This allows the Koala to grip more securely. Distinctive parallel Koala scratch marks on tree trunks are due to this particular characteristic. Koala fingerprintsKoalas are mostly active at night. They live in trees and are rarely found on the ground. They eat leaves of Eucalyptus trees. Koalas do not drink often, they get most of their water from the Eucalyptus leaves. The Koala’s body temperature is consistently lower than most mammals, at 36.6 degrees C, and they have a low metabolic rate. Koala heart rate

With its only natural enemy, the dingo, delegated to the ground, the koala is basically safe from threat. Birds of prey or snakes may take an occasional youngster or small female, but this is rare. Naturally, the koala has a darling expression, but its big head contains one of the smaller brains percentage wise in the animal kingdom, and a rather primitive one at that.These dexterous little claws make climbing easier, for sure, but also help in feeding, as the koala usually pulls branches to its mouth with a front paw to slowly eat the leaves off. Because of its distinctive appearance, the koala is recognised worldwide as a symbol of Australia. The animal was hunted heavily in the early 20th century for its fur, and large-scale cullings in Queensland resulted in a public outcry that initiated a movement to protect the species. Sanctuaries were established, and translocation efforts moved to new regions koalas whose habitat had become fragmented or reduced. Instead of living safely in their home trees, sleeping or dining on leaves, they must take to the ground to find new trees that are not already claimed by another koala. While Swing Monkey is a pretty unique physics game, there are a few games that have a similar feel to it once you finish up all 100 levels of Swing Monkey. A couple of games that we recommend are Candy Jump and Winter Dodge. Both are based on using your momentum and controlling your distance.
