Animalia-Art | Koala

 

I am a marsupial that looks a lot like a teddy bear. I am placid and a solitary animal and I sleep up to 23 hours a day. We spend most of our time in trees and rarely come down as that is where our main predators, dingoes and dogs, are.

 

My species feeds almost exclusively on the leaves and bark of 120 of the 800 species of eucalypti present in Australia and in order for us to be able to ingest eucalyptus our babies must be fed the faeces of our parents in order to build up a stomach lining that can handle the toxins in the eucalyptus.

 

Animalia-art is the sister company of Metalbird and has designed a range of beautiful Australian animal garden art.

 

The animals are laser cut from 3mm Corten® Steel which is designed to rust. This gives them long term protection against the elements, and a beautiful patina that shifts with the seasons.

 

Designed and made in Melbourne.

 

Size: 38 x 28cm (comes in a card board gift box)
