Reproduction

|| ** Koalas usually only have one baby at a time, the pregnancy ** ** usually lasts for only about 35 days. ** ** After this time the mother gives birth **** and the “Joey” crawls from the ** ** birth canal to the pouch where it lives **** for about six ** ** months to feed from the mother’s milk. ** ** The Joey is usually no bigger than your smallest toe! They are ** ** born earless, bald and sightless just **** like the first picture below. ** ** As the **** Joey grows they develop their **** ears and a very fine coat of fur. **
