Peaceful and endearing, the koala is an iconic Australian marsupial. Recognizable by its thick gray fur, black snout, and large, rounded ears, it spends most of its time clinging to eucalyptus branches.
A highly specialized herbivore, it feeds almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves, which it digests using a unique system. Surprisingly, despite its reputation for sleepiness, the koala can spend up to 20 hours a day resting to conserve energy. The young, called "joeys," grow up in their mother's pouch before climbing her back to explore the trees.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the koala: dense fur, expressive muzzle and characteristic posture. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the heart of the Australian forest or raise children's awareness of the protection of this endangered marsupial.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
