Overview

The koala is a marsupial, meaning their mum raises the babies in a pouch

The Koala can only be found right here in Australia

They sleep for just under 20 hours a day and their diet consists of mostly eucalyptus leaves

Their claws are very sharp, and their forearms are extremely strong, making them masters at climbing trees

A koala’s hearing is exceptionally good but their eyesight is quite poor

Meet Kalari & Mavis
Meet Kalari & Mavis

Kalari has always been curious when it comes to exploring life. Mischievous by nature and ready to test the boundaries, she often keeps the Paradise Country Keepers on their toes. As a first time mum to Mavis, Kalari’s boisterous nature has managed to mellow just a fraction, ensuring that her joey is well protected, safe and sound. Mavis is a shy and sweet little joey who’s sure to develop some of her mother’s most prominent traits as she matures. Known for her bossy tactics, Kalari won’t be denied when it comes to securing her favourite sleeping spot, so taking full advantage of being a mum has come quite naturally to her. Legs kicked-out and fast asleep, Kalari’s unique napping style is a sure sign to Mavis that the best spot on offer is wherever they are.
