Koalas 101 | Nat Geo Wild

[@NatGeoAnimals]

Though often called the koala “bear,” this cuddly animal is not a bear at all; it is a marsupial, or pouched mammal. If you'd like to learn more, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2LxmV6L

I agree with Mr Bio. It shows a sympathy for the koala and their destiny.

[@KoeSeer]

unlike any animal, koalas cannot comprehend that fire is dangerous. They only know it's painful when they are burned by it. Sloth knows fire is dangerous, so they back off or run. Sloth is just lazy, not stupid.

Yes, koalas are great. Worth protecting just like Ukraine. Russian soldiers have behaved badly in Ukraine. What do you have to say about Putin? Do Russians believe his lies?
