Naturally, the koala has a darling expression, but its big head contains one of the smaller brains percentage wise in the animal kingdom, and a rather primitive one at that. Among the obstacles are trampolines you can use to spring off of and gain speed. The air time from the trampolines won’t last very long, so make sure to grab on to a ring as soon as possible! Know when to let go If you swing or bounce high enough, you’ll be able to soar through most of the course without grabbing onto any rings. Gather as much speed as you can at the start of the level to make flying through the obstacles a breeze. Learn from your mistakes

Koala bears have special claws that make grasping and climbing easy. The front paws have five digits like a little hand. The two digits that might be considered the thumb and index finger are semi-opposed to the other three digits. The Koala’s paws are specially adapted for gripping and climbing. Rough pads on the palms and soles help it to grip tree trunks and branches, and both front and hind paws have long sharp claws. Each paw has five digits; on the front paw, two digits are opposed to the other three–rather like a human’s thumb–so they are both able to be moved in opposition to the other three. This allows the Koala to grip more securely. Distinctive parallel Koala scratch marks on tree trunks are due to this particular characteristic. Koala fingerprints The art of the nap does not get lost on the masterful koala. Koalas usually sleep quite high in branches and the mottled fur on their posterior makes for good camaflauge from below. The koala bear has a broad face with forward facing eyes, a large head with round tufted ears and an egg-shaped tailless body covered with plush grey to brown fur that is whiter on the undersides and often mottled over the rump. Koalas are mostly active at night. They live in trees and are rarely found on the ground. They eat leaves of Eucalyptus trees. Koalas do not drink often, they get most of their water from the Eucalyptus leaves.The biggest issue koalas face is their own territorial and anti-social nature. There is a finite number of koalas that can comfortably coexist in a particular area of wild habitat, and when territory is depleted by human encroachment, the individuals whose trees are lost usually perish. Because of its distinctive appearance, the koala is recognised worldwide as a symbol of Australia. The animal was hunted heavily in the early 20th century for its fur, and large-scale cullings in Queensland resulted in a public outcry that initiated a movement to protect the species. Sanctuaries were established, and translocation efforts moved to new regions koalas whose habitat had become fragmented or reduced. Despite having no tail, the Koala has an excellent sense of balance. With a lean, muscular body, and comparatively long, strong limbs, the Koala can support its weight when climbing. The front and hind limbs are nearly equal in length and much of the Koala’s climbing strength comes from the thigh muscle, which joins the shin much lower than in many other mammals.

These dexterous little claws make climbing easier, for sure, but also help in feeding, as the koala usually pulls branches to its mouth with a front paw to slowly eat the leaves off. The nutritional value of this diet is so poor that the koala is designed to conserve as much energy as possible. A healthy adult koala spends about 18 hours a day sleeping - mostly in the heat of the afternoon - and no more than 5 minutes a day in full-bodied exertion. Koalas are the only other animal besides primates that have individual fingerprints like humans. A scientific study compared human and Koala fingerprints, finding that the Koalas’ are easily distinguishable from humans’, but there are some similarities. It was noted that each Koala has a different fingerprint from other Koalas.The koala, or, inaccurately, koala bear (a common term outside of Australia, though koalas are marsupials, not bears), is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats. Playing Swing Monkey is a good way to apply basic physics to gameplay. The game’s mechanics can help players learn and understand the process of energy conversion. By applying knowledge of energy principles, players can calculate the right time to let go based on the amount of speed built up when swinging. The resting heart rate of a Koala is anywhere between 70-140 beats per minute (it will depend on a range of factors, including the age of the Koala). It can be difficult to measure a resting heart rate for a Koala as they have a ‘sinus arrhythmia’ which means that their heart rate and breathing get out of sync. This can cause fluctuations in the heart rate which aren’t a reflection of the actual heart rate–resting or active. Koala rib cage

Adult males communicate with loud bellows that intimidate rivals and attract mates. Males mark their presence with secretions from scent glands located on their chests. Being marsupials, koalas give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mothers' pouches, where they stay for the first six to seven months of their lives. These young koalas, known as joeys, are fully weaned around a year old. The Koala is well suited to its life in the trees. Unlike other arboreal marsupials such as the tree kangaroo, the Koala does not have an external tail. However vestiges of a tail are still present in the skeletal structure of the Koala, indicating that at some time in its evolutionary history an external tail was present. It shares this feature with the wombat.

They are not social at all, marking out clear territories, and actively avoiding each other throughout most of their lives, other than for very brief mating encounters. Koalas spend more than 90% of their lives high up in the trees. They are deliberate climbers and do not swing from branch to branch like some monkey or rodent species.

The Koala’s body temperature is consistently lower than most mammals, at 36.6 degrees C, and they have a low metabolic rate. Koala heart rate From the safety of the pouch, the joey leans out and feeds on the pap as it is excreted by the mother. Joeys consume pap, along with mothers milk, as a vital part of their diet for about 2 months. These animals are nocturnal and spend four to six hours a night quietly munching on Eucalyptus leaves. Koalas are not social animals at all, and basically avoid or ignore the other members of the colony, except during breeding season. They do have overlapping territories, where some trees may be shared, and occasionally koalas may meet in a shared tree, but there is very limited, if any, interaction.The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, spoon-shaped nose. The koala has a body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and weighs 4–15 kg (9–33 lb). Colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than those further south. This is an extremely stressful and dangerous time for the young koala, and they often succumb to injuries obtained as they are chased from one claim to another. Koalas typically inhabit open eucalyptus woodlands, and the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet. Because this diet has limited nutritional and caloric content, koalas are largely sedentary and sleep up to 20 hours a day. They avoid social interaction, and bonding exists only between mothers and dependent offspring. These stems can then be pitched down, chopped up, panned or even undergo effects from one of its eight microphone effects, which are: More Bass, More Treble, Fuzz, Robot, Reverb, Octave up, Octave down & Synthesizer. There are also 16 mix effects, including a dub delay, distortion, compressor and stutter.
