Recently I heard on the news about a drug that they were giving to koalas for 
birth control because they are running out of habitat.  They are running out of 
habitat because they are producing offspring too fast.  So, they can't shoot 
them so they are giving them this birth control.  If it is also possible I would 
like to know more about it.  Any info you can give me and I will be most 
gracious.
