I love this little sleepy koala. Isn’t he just the cutest? He’s so soft and fuzzy that he almost looks like a plush toy!
I noticed that it is very often that you find pictures of sleeping koalas and I now know the reason why. According to Wikipedia’s Koala article, koala bears have a low metabolic rate for a mammal (just like sloths and wombats) and so they actually rest and stay motionless for 16 to 18 hours a day.

Most of the time that you find a picture of a koala, the koala in question is usually sleeping, all curled up against a tree (or against another koala who is against a tree). This picture is no different. However, just because most koala pictures do have the same subject matter, it doesn’t mean that they’re not special. Just look at this little bugger! He’s so chubby and soft looking. Look at those fuzzy ears! I seriously wouldn’t mind cuddling up with him right now and taking a nap. What do you guys think?
I'm pudgy, fuzzy, sleepy, and adorable all in one!

Look at this sleepy little koala… I’ve noticed that Koalas are often sleeping, and they always look comfortable, but what’s strange is that the positions in which they sleep never look comfortable to me. I like to sleep on my side, on solid ground, but Koalas are always sleeping while hugging rugged tree branches. I guess they’re brave little guys, to sleep hanging from a tree like that. Yep, I’ll definitely stick to sleeping on the ground… Trees just look too dangerous! (I’m sure this guy will be fine, though)

I saw a picture of this sleepy koala and I thought it would be perfect to post here. What do you guys think? Isn’t he the chubbiest, most cuddly, sleepiest koala bear ever? I want to give him a warm blanket and a big hug.
