And they are sent to other countries like America, China, France as a gift. But they are all kept in zoos in these countries. You can see them in the wild only in Australia. They have no natural enemies(天敌). The koala's favorite food is only the leaves of the eucalyptus tree(桉树).

Victoria State is in the southeast of Australia. In Victoria, the koalas are becoming more and more in these years. This is a problem because the koalas nearly eat all of the eucalyptus trees and then they have nothing to eat.
