It has the singular habit of carrying its young one upon its back, after the latter has grown too large to be conveniently stowed away in the pouch. Two species of koala have been spoken of, but as yet one only is described and certainly known. The Wombat is another animal of thick stout form, and also without tail. It is a slow creature, easily overtaken by a man on foot.
When the Koala had taken a timid peep at itself, the Opossum said that the Koala now had an idea of how stupid it looked, and the little bear went off to get used to having an idea in its head. The Opossum was so pleased with its spiteful joke that it hastily said good night, and hurried away to tell it to the other 'possums.
Only blacks have no fur, but what they steal from the proper owners. Do you steal fur?" it asked in an anxious voice. "How do they steal fur?" asked Dot. The Koala looked very miserable, and spoke with horror. "They kill us with spears, and tear off our skins and wear them, because their own skins are no good."
"Then, where are you now?" asked the Koala, rather perplexed. "I'm not at home," replied Dot, not knowing how to make her position clear to the little animal. "Then you live where you don't live?" said the Koala; "Where is it?" and the little Bear looked quite unhappy in its attempt to understand what Dot meant. "I've lost it," said Dot. "I don't know where it is."
