Kenny the koala is a very famous marsupial who lives in Austalias Sydney zoo.He is famous because he has been on the worldwide news,he has his own koala bear of himself and he is the first newborn baby joey in Sydney zoo.Kenny has his own huge backyard with lots of climbing toys and several tall delicous gum trees to eat. Koalas favourite food is gum leaves off the gum trees it has a really nice smell and is very yummy in a koalas opinion. Kenny has a lot of fans all around the world. He gets thousands of cuddles and billions of pictures everyday too at the zoo.

Kennys zoo keeper whose name is Rose looks after kenny and his mother. Everyday Rose would take Kenny out of his backyard and give him a warm bath. After that she would take him to a speacial hospital untit in the zoo to check up if he has any injuries or is sick. Then finally Kenny goes back into his backyard to see all the crowd waiting for him to arrive. As soo as Kenny was in his backyard he climbed up a tree and jumped into his mothers pouch. He usally sits in his mothers pouch to rest sleep.

Kenny sleeps and rests for up to twenty hours a day. This is very normal for koalas. When kenny is in his mothers pouch he is very warm and cosy. His mum has thick,greyish fur with white on her chest, inner arms and ears. She also has large furry ears and a leathery nose. But Kenny isent that furry yet as his mother because he is still only a baby joey.. In the zoo everyone calls hi m Kenny the little joey. The reason why he is called a joey is because its another name for a babay koala. Kenny is nearly seven months old and he is soon ready to stay out of his mlthers pouch. Little baby koalas like Kenny stay in their mothers pouch for up to six or seven months until they are ready to start eating gum leaves.

As months went byh things got bad Kennys mother wasent acting the way she use to be. She wont eat drink and cant barlery even walk. No one could figure out what was wrong with her. Everyday Kennys zoo kepper Rose would take kennys mother to the speacial hospital unit to check up if she is coming up with any diseases or infections nut luckily nothing came up.

After a couple of days the zoo comuntity decided to call in a speacilist to see what was wrong with Kennys mother. The speacialst said " This is a very common sickness koalas have. Thje reason why she isent eating or drinking is beacuse she is getting to an age where she may die." The was a short silence. Then he started explaining the lifespan of a koala and said " A feamale lives up to 18 years and as male koala only liveas up to 13 years".He then saw everyone in tears and said "sorry to say the bad news and i feel sorry for Kenny because he soon wont have a mother or any companey."

The manager smile and said "Thats okay and most thank you so much for helping us out we asppreciate it". The speacialist replied back and said "if you need anything else just give me a call".He then packed up his stuff and walked out of the door.

As soon as he walked out everyone started talking about kenny and kennys mother. But Rose was so devostated the she didnt want to talk aboput it or even hear about it. She then sprinted out and went to check if Kennys mother was still alive.Until all of a sudden she sees a grey thuing lying in a tall gum tre no brathing at all. Rose bursted into c rying and yelled out "Doctors help kennys mother is not breathing"and within a minuter the all came rushing out with a bed and a ladder. The docter quickly raced up the tree and carefully lifted kennys mother up and then went back down the ladder. Then they all rushed back to the hospital untit to try and wake her up before its too late.

But sadlly she didnt make it and they had the funeral the next day.Rose was still sad about it but she tried to let it go. Kenny realized what happend to his mother but he still smiles and is always happy. So Kenny is still a happy koala who lives in a happy Sydney zoo.
