Koko the koala loves holding on tight to her favorite branch. It is the perfect place to relax after nibbling eucalyptus leaves. Color Kokoβs cozy treetop moment in your own special way!
High in a tree, Koko wraps her arms around a sturdy branch and settles in for a calm rest. Koalas spend lots of time in trees, where they can munch leaves and snooze safely. This picture is all about a quiet, cozy moment above the ground. Look at Kokoβs fluffy ears and big round noseβwhat colors will make her treetop home look extra inviting?
Color Kokoβs fur silvery gray or warm brown-gray, with white on her chest and fluffy ear edges. Her large nose can be charcoal black. Give the branch a rich brown bark pattern using short lines or dots. Eucalyptus leaves are often blue-green or dusty green, so try a few shades together. For a sky background, pale blue looks peaceful, while yellow sunshine peeking through leaves adds a happy glow.
Koalas can sleep around 18 to 20 hours in one day! Eucalyptus leaves do not give them much energy, so resting helps them save it. Although koalas are often called βkoala bears,β they are not bears at all. They are marsupials, which means a mother carries her tiny baby, called a joey, in a pouch. Koalas also have sharp claws for gripping tree branches.
