The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to

Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest
living relatives are the wombats, which comprise the family Vombatidae. The koala is found
in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New
South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.
The koala is a stocky animal with a large head and vestigial or non-existent tail. It has a
body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and a weight of 4–15 kg (9–33 lb), making it among the
largest arboreal marsupials. Koalas from Victoria are twice as heavy as those from

While the koala was previously classified as Least Concern on the Red List, it was
uplisted to Vulnerable in 2016. Australian policy makers declined a 2009 proposal to include
the koala in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. In 2012,

Richard Phillips Feynman was born on May 11, 1918, in Queens, New York City, to
Lucille née Phillips and Melville Arthur Feynman. Feynman was a late talker, and did not

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the
15th century BC. Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by 1630. The plant is renowned as
one of the Four Gentlemen in Chinese and East Asian art. The plant is particularly
significant during the Double Ninth Festival.
They have alternately arranged leaves divided into leaflets with toothed or occasionally
smooth edges. The compound inflorescence is an array of several flower heads, or
sometimes a solitary head. The head has a base covered in layers of phyllaries. The simple
row of ray florets is white, yellow, or red; many horticultural specimens have been bred to
bear many rows of ray florets in a great variety of colors. The disc florets of wild taxa are
yellow. The fruit is a ribbed achene.
Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers of the species C. morifolium are boiled to make
a tea in some parts of Asia. Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium is economically important as a
natural source of insecticide. Chrysanthemum plants have been shown to reduce indoor air
