Description | Description:Raccoons are bear-like mammals that were once exclusively found in North America but now live in Japan and Europe as well. They have what appears to be a black mask surrounding their eyes. Their front paws are so dexterous that they can turn door knobs, untie knots, and open jars. | Description:Koalas eat the eucalyptus leaves of trees in Australia. They have large, wide faces, white ears and smooth black noses which all make them look like small bears. They live a very low energy lifestyle and sleep 18 hours a day. |
