If you go to Australia, you can see koalas everywhere. They’re a kind of cute animals only to be found in Australia. They are a symbol of Australia. And some of them are sent(被送) to other countries like America, China, France as gifts. But people keep them all in zoos in these countries. You can see them in the wild only in Australia. They have no natural enemies(天敌). The koala’s favorite food is only the leaves of the eucalyptus tree(桉树).
Victoria State is in the southeast of Australia. In Victoria, the koalas are becoming more and more in these years. This is a problem because the koalas nearly eat all the leaves of eucalyptus trees and then they will have nothing to eat.
Last year, people moved 500 koalas to other forests, and now they want to keep the number of koalas down. However, it will be some years before the leaves of eucalyptus trees grow back again.
