Koala
Koalas have large rounded ears, leathery black nose, and stout body covered with gray-brown fur. That is why they look like a small bear. A koala is kind and gentle and is sometimes called koala bear. But, koala is not a bear. This creature belongs to a group of mammals called marsupials. Animals that belong in that group include kangaroos and opossums. Koalas spend most of their lives in the eucalyptus trees and feeding its leaves. But koalas must be careful when eating young leaves from the eucalyptus trees. It contains an acid that can be poisonous. Koalas raise their young in a pouch on the underside of the mother’s belly like a kangaroo and other marsupials. A male koala can weigh up to 30 pounds when it is fully grown and the female koala can weigh up to 20.
Koalas lived in the temperate forest. Most of the trees in the temperate forest are oak, maple, birch, beech, hickory, and sweet gum. There are many other types of trees that grow in the temperate forest. There are small plants that grew in this forest, too. It includes ferns, mosses, shrubs, lichens, Blue Bead Lily, Indian Cucumber, and wild sarsaparilla. Other animals that lived in the temperate forest are foxes, deer, and bears.
There are four seasons in the temperate forest. When spring time comes, it brings new life to the trees and plants, warm temperatures, and rain which help everything grow. But summer is hot, and everything is green since all the trees now have leaves. When fall comes, the temperature is cool and trees will change colors like red, yellow, and orange when fall comes. Winter is very cold and all the trees loose their leaves. The average temperature in the temperate forest is 50 degrees F°.

remove the sentences that start with but and use "however" or commas to put the sentence together.
A koala is kind and gentle and is sometimes called koala bear, although koala is not a bear, it just looks like one.
