THE WONDERFUL KOALA OR NATIVE “BEAR” OF AUSTRALIA 
10950 skins misleadingly listed as “‘wombats,”’ were sold in New York in January, 1921, at prices ranging from 70 cents to $1.30. 
Ten of these animals must be killed to make one short coat. Unless all the provinces of Australia immediately stop the 
exportation of koala skins, this exceedingly interesting species very soon will become totally extinct.
