koala

In the koala (Australian native bear), a vegetable-feeding marsupial, it is more than thrice the size of the body.

A terrible hullabaloo between a pair of Opossums up a neighbouring gum tree arrested the attention of both Dot and the Koala.

The Koala saw that Dot was proud, but as it didn't see any reason why she should be, it was not a bit afraid of her.

It then got the Koala to look into the mirror also, and said it would get an idea into its little empty head if it did.

Another pouched animal is the Koala, or Ashy Koala as it is called.
