Are koalas born the size of jelly beans?

No, koalas are not born the size of jelly beans. That's a fun misconception!

While koala joeys are very small at birth, they are much larger than jelly beans. They are about the size of a jellybean!

Here's a breakdown:

* Jellybean: About 1-2 cm in diameter.

* Newborn Koala: About 2 cm long and weighs around 0.5 grams.

So, a newborn koala is about the size of a large jellybean, but definitely not as small as a regular jellybean.
