Koala Jigsaw Puzzle

This is a great digital jigsaw puzzle game for all the family to play from a good photo of a koala resting high in the branches of a gum tree.

Gum leaves are the favorite food for koalas and they prefer the leaves high up on a tree as they are juicier that the lower leaves. Koalas very rarely drink water, getting the moisture they need to survive purely from the gum leaves. Their name is derived from an aboriginal word meaning "no drink".

Many people call them koala bears yet they do not belong to the bear family. They are marsupials and are found only in the eastern states of Australia and the state of South Australia. Koalas are becoming a threatened species mainly due to forests being cleared for farming and urban development. Bushfires can wipe out whole colonies of koalas and steps are being taken by governments to protect the koala by undertaking repopulating programs.

Watch the video of koala climbing a tree at Phillip Island, Victoria. You can see on the video how strong and skilled they are at climbing. Phillip Island has a Koala Conservation Centre and is a popular tourist spot with the famed penguin rookery nearby. (Video by cculleny)
