Stage Play

The Koala is a type of mammal Friend that debuted in the original Kemono Friends mobile game and has appeared in the Welcome to Japari Park! manga. She has since cameoed in the first Kemono Friends Stage Play and appeared in Kemono Friends Festival.

Appearance

Koala has light, blue-grey hair, tied in short-fluffy twin tails, with a single dark-gray dot in the center. She has large round ears with white fur and dark brown eyes. She has a white fur collar and wears a light-grey tank top with a dark grey skirt. Over the tank top, she wears a white apron with a grey bow and front pocket. She has long grey gloves and wears grey stockings and white fur boots.

In Real Life

The Koala is a marsupial native to Eastern Australia. With the specimens weighing up to 15 kg, the Koala is one of the largest tree-dwelling marsupial in the world. The Koala also sports one of the smallest brain to body mass ratio of any mammal. A Koala’s diet consists mainly of Eucalyptus leaves, which are lacking in nutrients (and considerably toxic). As a result, the Koala generally spends 20 hours a day sleeping, to save energy. Another result of this diet is their exceptionally long Caecum: food can take up to 200 hours to fully digest. This extra-long Caecum is important in the production of pap, a supplementary food source used to wean Koala babies off of their mother’s milk.
