The Koala is perhaps the most loved and famous of all the Australian native animals.
These beautiful marsupials live along many Eastern parts of Australia as long as the trees they like to eat grow there.
They sleep most of the day and are most active after sunset.
This soft toy Koala is as cute and lovable as any teddy bear.
Suitable for babies and children of all ages!
