Do you know about koalas? 🐨

In this episode we head to the eucalyptus-filled forests of Australia to learn all about one of its most iconic animals: the koala! We discover why koalas aren’t actually bears, what makes marsupials so unique, and how koalas live, sleep, and snack high up in the trees. Along the way, we talk about how long koalas live, the challenges they face in the wild, and why they’re now considered endangered.Sleep Tight,Sheryl & Clark❤️👂📖 ✨ Want more stories and fewer interruptions?
