Koalas are marsupials, a mammal that carries its young in a pouch. They live in the Eucalyptus forests of Australia and they only eat the new leaves of a few different types of eucalypt trees. Koala's paws are hand-like, strong, and have very sharp claws to help them hold onto tree trunks and branches.
Earthweek: earthquakes
Earthweek: earthquakes Iceland was struck by the most powerful
earthquakes it had seen in 90 years during their celebrations of
their national day. Extensive damage was caused by the 6.6 tremor
but there were no injuries as most people were outside to enjoy the
celebrations. Another large quake occurred 4 days later and caused
further damage.
A quake also occurred in northern Italy which caused damage to 2
historic churches, while earth movements were felt in the Cook
Islands, Japan, Chile and Guatemala. 24 JUNE 2000
