Can koalas swim??????

Answer 1

The Koala swims very good.

Koala Bears:
The Koala lives almost exclusively in the top branches of Eucalyptus trees. It's strong legs and sharp claws are used to help it grip the tree trunks. A Koala is a nocturnal animal, the Koala eats young shoots and leaves on branches, and spends the day sleeping in the tree.
The Koala was living throughout all of Australia until the 1900s. But when Australia started getting more populated by humans, the koalas population started decreasing. Most of it's habitat was destroyed by fires made by humans to clear the land and build on it. Mink wasn't the only animal used to make fur, koalas were too. Koalas were hunted for their durable, warm fur. Over 2 million skins were exported from Australia in 1924 alone. Many Koalas, now, are actually killed by being run over by tourist cars in different sanctuaries.
The Koala has special cheek pouches that store food, and a digestive system to handle a diet of only eucalyptus leaves. there are more than 100 types of Eucalyptus trees that grow in Australia, but Koalas only use 12. Koalas eat 1 to 2 pounds of Eucalyptus leaves a day. The Koala never drinks, it gets all of the liquid it needs from Eucalptus leaves. In the Aborigine language, Koala means "no water."
The Koala swims very good. It crosses rivers in order to survive heavy floods. A Koala can live up to 10 years in the wild, 20 years in captivity.
A newborn Koala is only the size of a lima bean. It's back legs aren't there at all and it's front legs are mostly developed. It drags itself by it's front legs following a trail of saliva. That trail is left by the mother and leads to her pouch.

Answer 4

Stories of a great deluge occur widely in mythology throughout the world. The biblical story of Noah is a version of a flood myth that originated in Mesopotamia and was familiar throughout the ancient Near East from the time of the Sumerians (around 2500-2000 BCE). All the known versions of this myth have the same basic outline: a deity or deities send a deluge to destroy the world, but one righteous man is fore-warned of the disaster and builds a ship in which he and his family survive the flood. After the flood has subsided, the world continues to exist and is repopulated. Before God sends the flood, the Bible tells us that human beings "began to multiply on the face of the ground" (Genesis 6:1). A similar expression occurs in the flood story in the Mesopotamian epic of Atrahasis, where the reason for the deluge is the gods' desire to curb human overpopulation. There are striking resemblances between the Genesis story and the account of a great flood related by Utnapishtim, who is the equivalent of Noah, in the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh. For example, Utnapishtim survives the flood by building a ship. The vessel finally comes to rest on Mount Nisir, which is in the same region as "the mountains of Ararat", where Noah's ark comes to rest (Genesis 8:4). Utnapishtim opens a window of his ship and sends out a dove, a swallow and a raven to reconnoitre the ground, much as Noah opens the window of the ark and sends out a raven and a dove. On emerging from the ship, Utnapishtim offers a sacrifice which propitiates the gods when they smell its sweet savour, and they agree that in future humanity should be punished if it behaves wickedly, but not destroyed. Noah likewise offers a sacrifice, and after smelling its "pleasing odour", Yahweh promises: "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind ... nor will I destroy every living creature as I have done" (Genesis 8:21). Finally, both Utnapishtim and Noah are blessed and rewarded. Utnapishtim is granted immortality, while Noah lives for another three hundred and fifty years and is granted a fecund progeny that will repopulate the world. Similar stories include the ancient Greek myth of Deucalion, and the Hindu story of Manu.
