What body parts does the koala use to move?

They use their arms and legs (their legs are more like arms) to climb trees and move from branch to branch. Koalas are inactive creatures and sleep much of the time, they generally stay in the same area moving between trees at branch level rather than climbing down. They rarely drink, hence the Aboriginal name 'Koala" = Never Drink or No Drink. Koalas get most of their liquid intake from the moisture in the leaves. Because they spend most of their lives in a tree, it is not advisable to stand directly or even indirectly underneath when observing them.
