Named Frankie, This koala from DreamWorld in Queensland Australia is the only Blue eyed Koala known to exist in the World.

Koala’s are a protected animal in Australia. They are endangered and have faced many problems over the years since white settlement in Australia.

The Koala was hunted almost to extinction in the early 1900’s and although they are not hunted today they still face problems such as habitat destruction, a disease called chlamydia, deliberately lit bush fires and domestic dogs as well.
