Once hunted nearly to extinction for its thick fur, the koala now lives in eucalyptus forests in eastern Australia, where it is protected by strict law. Chan said that while in the past certain rare reptiles have been the target of animal traffickers, there was no known market for koalas, leaving officials mystified as to the motive for the apparent theft. "The only way to describe them is really they are the cutest things you have ever seen," Chan said. "It could be that they want to sell them, or they might want to have them as pets. But why they would want to have them as pets is beyond us because they are so difficult to take care of."Other, more grisly scenarios, including the possibility that someone might have taken the koalas intending to eat them, were not out of the question, Chan said.
