My name is Kara. I am a koala. I am not a bear. I am a marsupial. Marsupials live in their mummy's pouches when they are little. I like to climb trees. I sleep a lot in the day and I'm awake at night. I live in a forest with lots of tall trees. Eucalyptus leaves are my favourite food. It is very hot where I live. I live in a place called Australia.
