Koalas are most popular animals in Australia

Koalas are considered as the most popular animals in Australia.. This popularity of the Koalas in Australia is based upon the simplest of the facts that the animal has one of the most cutest appeal for any observer or onlooker. There is no doubt that koalas are cute, cuddly and calm and these attributes somehow make a huge impact in terms of popularity of these animals. Even though the modern day Australian settlers have a history of just a few centuries with koalas yet still the Australian koalas have made a huge impact in Australia. If you ever ask an Australian about his or her favorite animal, koala will definitely be the reply in 9 out of 10 cases.

A very fundamental reason for the popularity of koalas include their habitat sharing with human settlements. Australia is the only country in the world where 80% to 90% of its population lives near the sea shores. Koalas live in the woods that are closely situated near such sea shores. Therefore, there is always a real chance of interaction in between the Koalas and people. Moreover, the presence of Koalas within zoos and animal sanctuaries have also made them very popular among school kids and families in general. These are some of the key reasons that Koalas have gained a considerable popularity among the Australian people.

It will never be wrong to associate the Beauty of the Koalas with their popularity in Australia. Koalas are considered as more cute than the teddy bears by majority of the people. Instead many regard them as teddy bears but when separately placed people tend to pick Koalas first. This is the core reason that people fall in love with Koalas at the first sight. These animals are also very shy and they never harm or try to attack humans, therefore, the cuteness and the courtesy of the Koalas have significantly made these beautiful creatures as highly popular among the people living in Australia.

Even though koalas are popular among all age groups but they are highly popular among kids and teenagers across Australia. This fact can be estimated by the fact of availability of the Koala books for the children across Australia. These books are full of folktales about Koalas which further associate children and even their parents with Koalas. Koalas also enjoy protection from the Government legislation in Australia; however, there is still a need of further conservation of the Koalas and their habitat.

Finally, at one end where Koalas who are very famous among the people of Australia, on the other end Koalas are almost obscure to the rest of the world. Many people around the world have never heard or made aware about the Koalas. Moreover, they also do not know about the special characteristics of the Koalas and misunderstand them with some other animal upon being seen. Furthermore, in the third world countries where the knowledge is always lacking, Koalas have never been heard and holds a zero percent popularity. It is really strange that the animal which is 100% popular in one continent �Australia� is almost obscure to those areas which have population in Billions, despite at such a time, when the world has surpassed the state of global village.
