They are nocturnal.
Almost all marsupials are nocturnal.
Koalas are different from many other marsupials because they are one of the few marsupials which have backward-facing pouches.
Something which makes the koala completely unique is the fact that the mother produces a substance called pap for their joeys to prepare them for a life of eating eucalyptus leaves.
Baby koalas, called joeys, drink mother's milk during their first 6-7 months of life. After 30 weeks, the mother produces a substance called pap. This substance is actually a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves.
