Information

  • Boy: It's so cute I can't bear it, even though Koalas[sic] aren't bears.
  • Tourist: "Along with 'roos and wombats, they're Australian mascots."
  • Reporter: "That's a koala, and all of them live in Australia."
  • Scientist: "That's a tree-dwelling marsupial and he eats eucalyptus. You can ferry to the zoo or put him on the bus."
  • Policewoman: "That koala would like to return to Taronga Park, please hurry. It's a short ride on the ferry."
