Hygge from Koalas. Life Among the Trees

Koalas are rightly considered one of the most popular animals in the world. Big eyes, round faces, behavioral traits – they resemble plush teddy bears more than real inhabitants of wild forests. We know them from cute postcards and online videos that gather millions of views, but what do we actually know about these mysterious creatures? Throughout their lives, koalas feed exclusively on toxic eucalyptus leaves: any other animal would simply die from such a diet. Koalas are difficult to treat because their unique bodies can detoxify toxins. When descending from trees, koalas seek contact with humans, asking for help and even just showing curiosity. A deep investigation by Daniel Claude sheds light on the lives of these wonderful animals: it is a true hymn to koalas, inspiring the reader to take care of our shared home – the surrounding world. “The more I try to learn about koalas, the more I understand how much we still do not know about them. I can’t wait to unravel the mysteries surrounding them, debunk myths, and correct inaccuracies” (Daniel Claude).
