FINAL EXAM 2º ESO

1 Read the text. Then tick the sentences T (true) or F (false). [5 x 2 = 10 points]
What has got a large head, a big nose, thick fur and small round ears? No, not a bear, a koala!
Koalas look like bears, but they aren’t from the bear family. They are from the same animal family as a kangaroo. These types of
animals carry their babies in “pockets”. Koala babies weigh about six grams when they are born. So they live in their mothers’
“pockets” until they are six months old.
The koala’s natural home is Australia. You won’t find many koalas anywhere else, not even in zoos. Why? Well, koalas have got a
very special diet. They eat leaves from eucalyptus trees. In Australia, there are over 600 different types of eucalyptus trees. But
koalas only eat the leaves from about 35 types of these trees. If a koala doesn’t find these leaves, it just won’t eat! These special
trees are hard to grow outside Australia. So it’s very difficult for zoos to keep koalas.
