5. Koala Eating Leaves From A Tree
The coloring page shows a koala right on top of a tree while foxes are roaming around on the ground. Koalas are very fussy when it comes to food. There are almost 600 varieties of eucalyptus, but koalas eat just a few. This leaves them with very few eating options.

9. Baby Koala’s Silhouette
A suitable picture for young kids, this is one of the easiest pictures to color as it is just an outline of a koala. Koalas have large noses with hair.

Koalas’ fingerprints are similar to that of humans.
10. Sleepy Koala
Your kid would be surprised to know that koalas sleep for as long as 19 hours. They sleep for long because the food they eat is toxic, low on nutrition, and fibrous. To digest this, they need more energy. Hence sleeping longer hours gets them that energy.
