It seems these cute, fuzzy animals make the perfect icons. You can find them on coins, logos, emblems, mascots, they even have sports teams named after them. The koala is the “official fauna” symbol of Queensland, Australia as well as the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland. It is the logo of the Queensland Reds rugby team. In Canada, they have the “Fighting Koalas Triathlon Team”. Since 1976, Columbia College in South Carolina has donned the Koala as their school mascot. They are known as the “fighting koalas!”
