You might think this is a rare shot of a koala sleeping, but they actually sleep around 20 hours a day. Eucalyptus leaves are highly toxic and fibrous, so koalas need a slow metabolism in order to digest them.

If you want to hang out with a koala too, you can get up close and personal at the Sydney zoo.
