A Koala doe and her young joey, the essence of cuteness, are huddled together in the fork of a eucalyptus tree on Magnetic Island in Australia.
The modern koala is the only extant member of Phascolarctidae, a family that includes several extinct genera and species. During the Oligocene and Miocene, koalas lived in rainforests and had less specialised diets.
