Everybody loves Koalas! These cuddly and cute marsupials from "Down Under" are iconic to Australia. They live in the Eucalyptus forests in the southeast and eastern parts of the country. Although they are not classified as endangered, Koala numbers have been falling in the recent years primarily due to habitat destruction and the devastating bushfire crisis in Australia.
