The lovable koala's physical attributes are then discussed, covering everything from its paws and claws to its backward opening pouch.Maps illustrate its population and range. The type of habitat that supports the koala and the factors that determine where koalas occur are also given.

Interaction among themselves and with people, as well as the very important issue of species endangerment and the need for increased conservation efforts to save the koala, are covered.
