If you’ve always wanted to know more about animals, Bindi Irwin is the little girl to ask. Each month, Bindi will write about a different animal and answer readers’ questions in the magazine.
In the February issue of The Weekly, she tells us all about a precious Australian, the koala.
Pick up a copy of the February issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly to read more about koalas and see below for information on how to ask Bindi your most pressing wildlife questions.
Question
Why do koalas sleep so much?
Nev Zuvelek,
Melbourne, Vic.
Answer
Koalas sleep so much because the eucalyptus leaves that they eat don’t provide a lot of energy, so they have to conserve their energy.
