There are as many as 85,000 koalas across the continent of Australia. The Australian Koala Foundation has given a tentative figure of 47,000 to 85,000 for the wild koalas in Australia.

Both Marsupial and Placental mammals have many key differences from one another. Marsupial females having a pouch is the key differentiation when compared with the females of Placental Mammals.

Koalas are considered as one of the most popular animals in Australia. People are aware of them and they regard Koalas as one of the cutest animal as well. Koalas are also harmless and peaceful animals of Australia.

Koalas are more popular as compared to the Kangaroos within Australia. Even though Kangaroos are popular as Australia's national animals, but yet still Koalas still enjoy more popularity because of their cuteness and cuddliness.

Koalas have one of the fluffiest ears of all the mammals. Koalas are also recognized on the basis of their big fluffy ears. They also offer good sense of hearing for koalas.

Koalas possess a dominant and unique nose on their face. The koala’s nose appears to be spoon-shaped and black in color. Learn interesting features about the koalas’ nose.

Koalas possess button-shaped fascinating eyes which are very mysterious and adorable to look. Koalas rarely blink their eyes and they keep on staring at objects which attract them.

Koalas can easily be recognized because of certain key features on their physical attributes. Koalas are recognizable through rounded ears, nose, and button-shaped eyes etc. Koalas color and fur also play a core role in terms of their recognition.

Koalas are witnessed as the largest tree climbing mammals (Arboreal) throughout the continent of Australia. Koalas are bigger than Tree Kangaroos and also Opossum as well which are also big Arboreal.

Koalas vary in terms of their size. A Koala living in one geographical location will have a different size as compared to the Koalas living in another geographical location. The habitat typically leads Koalas to vary their sizes.

The Koalas from Queensland weigh around 9 kilograms. Queensland certainly does not offer an abundance food supply to the Koalas. Their weights and sizes are smaller because of the availability of the nutrition and vegetation available for them for ea

Koalas living in Australia's Victorian Territory are bigger and they weigh around 14 kilograms. Koalas within Australia's Victorian territory are specifically awarded by nature with a very high degree of food supply, thereby, helping them as being we

The Koalas from Queensland and Victorian territory of Australia make a difference in terms of their size, fur coloring, and fur thickness. Koalas of Queensland are smaller. Koalas of Australia's Victorian Territory are bigger.

Male Koalas are very huge. Minimum the Male Koalas weigh at least around 9 Kilograms and at maximum they can gain a weight of around 18 kilograms. Victorian Male Koalas are weigh more than Queensland Male Koalas.

Female Koalas are smaller in terms of weight and size. Female Koalas usually on average weight around 7 Kilograms. Female Koalas from Queensland weigh around 5 Kilograms. Female Koalas from Australia’s Victorian Territory weigh around 7 to 8 Kilogram

Male Koalas have more weight and size than the female Koalas. On average a Male Koala weighs around 11 Kilograms. A Female Koalas weigh around 6 to 9 Kilograms on average. Female and Male Koalas vary across Australia’s Victorian and Queensland territ

Male Koalas have loudest of voice among all the mammals across the continent of Australia. This loud voice helps the dominant male koalas to maintain their territory and also it helps them to attract female Koalas as well.

Koalas have been living on earth (Australian continent) for almost 30 million years. However; the modern-day koalas only emerged about 4.5 to 2 million years ago.

Koalas' population throughout history experienced an increase and decrease. However, the 20th century marked the strongest population of Koalas that is still stable within the 21st century.

Throughout the history of more than 30 million years Koalas have gone through a very little or no Physical evolution. Many researchers argue that throughout all the ages Koalas have maintained their original physical existence.

The word koala means “No Water” and the word (koala) itself belongs to the native and aboriginal languages of Australia where it also means “No Water” or “Lacking Water”.

Koalas have at least 1 dozen native and aboriginal names and they all belong to Eastern Australia's native and aboriginal languages i.e., Kaola, Koalo, Coolah and Koobor etc.

Aboriginal and Native Australians recognized and specified Koalas after 10 years of their stay at the Australian continent. Before that Koalas were obscure to almost every human being in the world.

Koalas, Koalas and Tough Life, Koalas Food Problem, Koalas and Tooth Decay, Koalas and Energy, Koalas and defense

The koalas’ abrasive diet is chiefly responsible for its tooth-decaying. The process of tooth-decaying is more common within older koalas and at the end all koalas fall victim to it.

Koalas' diet is so much toxic and poisonous that a normal mammal can't survive over this diet. Koalas' diet is full of cyanide chemicals and compounds. Yet still Koalas have very strong stomach and lever to manage all of these poisons.

The Eucalyptus leaves offer lower nutritional value for koalas and it is just a miracle that koalas rely on the Eucalyptus leaves during their entire lifespan. Koalas are always low in terms of their body energy.

Koalas possess lower energy levels and strength. This is the core reason that they spend most of their time while sleeping. Their food doesn't offer them much energy. More sleeping will help them to maintain energy levels. Koalas sleep 20 hours a day

Koalas and the Eucalyptus diet are inseperable. In fact; Eucalyptus is the lifeline for the Koalas' existence and without it they can't even survive.

Koalas have been occasionally spotted on other trees as well and eating different leaves rather than Eucalyptus. For example Koalas have been specifically located on the trees of Banksia, Acacia, Callitris, Hakea and Melaleuca.

Koalas' diet specifically includes Cyanides. Cyanides are abundantly available within the leaves of the Eucalyptus tree. If a normal mammal will eat those cyanides, it just simply can't survive.

Koalas drink either no water or they were rarely spotted drinking water. Koalas' water requirements are primarily accomplished through their diet (Eucalyptus leaves) which comprises of 55% water. Koalas are only spotted drinking water under extreme c

Koalas possess such an advanced digestive system that it can easily extract energy from the poisonous Eucalyptus leaves. A normal herbivore’s digestive system is incapable of tolerating the Eucalyptus leaves.

Koalas have slow Metabolism Rate. The food which the Koalas consume gets decomposed slowly once it reaches Koalas stomach because of slower metabolic activity. Slower Metabolism also helps Koalas to conserve their energy.

Koalas sleep about more than 20 hours a day. Koalas have unusual sleeping habits. Koalas are also slow and sluggish. Koalas remain asleep to slow-down their metabolism rates and energy requirements.

Koalas lack energy and strength. It wouldn't be wrong to consider them as defenseless. Koalas are slow and sluggish. The food which they consume offers very little level of energy and lower proteins.

Koalas' each tooth grows steadily, however, after some time, because of grinding and combination of poisons and toxicants in Koalas food, their tooth decay starts. Young Koalas chew better (no tooth decay) as compared to the mature and elderly Koalas

Young Koalas are good chewers as compared to the mature and elderly Koalas. Elderly and mature Koalas are prone to tooth decay because of tooth grinding and the Eucalyptus leaves as their chosen food.

Koalas usually die of Starvation. Sometimes, Koalas do not get enough food while other times, they are unable to chew the food rightly. The food which Koalas prefer contains very little nutritional value. There are many factors for Koalas' Starvation

Koalas are also vulnerable to dehydration. The summers in Australia are very warm. This causes Koalas to be dehydrated. They rarely drink water and rely on their food for water. Moreover, deforestation is another reason for Koalas' dehydration.

Suffering from heat Exhaustion and Heat Strokes is also very common among the Koalas. During Heat Strokes Koalas feel higher body temperature, higher heart beat and Koalas lose their consciousness as well.

Koalas have one of the smallest brains among all the mammals on plaent earth. The volume of their brain is almost 60% of total skull volume.

Koalas despite being very cute lack intellectual abilities. Koalas also have one of the smallest brains of all the mammals on planet earth. Read more about koalas’ lacking intellect.

Koalas consume almost 600 to 800 grams of Eucalyptus leaves per day. The food consumption within koalas may vary depending upon their size, temperature, gender and some other factors.

Koalas' food intake and consumption specifically depends upon their body size. The bigger the size of the Koalas, the greater will be its food consumption and vice versa. Smaller Koalas also eat less as compared to the bigger Koalas.

Lactating female Koalas consume more food as compared to the normal female Koalas. Lactating female Koalas require more energy and more nutrition to ensure milk supply for the young Koalas.

Koalas consume more food during winters as compared to the summer seasons. The reasons being the Koalas have to fight against the cold and will require higher energy levels; therefore, more food is always helpful as it ensures nutrition.

Female Koalas are very selective in terms of their leaf selection and their food consumption as well. Female koalas only select those eucalyptus leaves that are abundant in nitrogen levels for greater nutrition and energy.

A baby Koala is called Joey. Normally all the babies of the Marsupials are called as Joeys. Koala babies are called as joeys as well and koala Joey is a specific term that is being used for the baby Koalas.

The weight of the Baby Koala Joey at the time of its birth is around 1 gram. However, some studies have shown that at the time of their birth the Koala Joeys weigh less than 1 gram as well.

At the time of birth a Koala Joey has to travel from the Cloaca into the pouch of its mother. A Koala Joey slowly but steadily travels by itself with the help of its small limbs. It has a good sense of smell to identify its mother's pouch.

Newborn Koala Joeys have well established sense of smell. It helps Koala Joeys to spot their mothers' pouch and also teats as well to detect milk within the pouch.

A newborn Koala Joey always keeps its head inside its mother's pouch for about 6 months. During this period of time, it never sees the outside environment at all. Round about the 6 month, it becomes powerful enough to come outside.

A new born Koala Joey completes its development of body and shape after 6 months. A newborn Koala Joey is always under-developed at birth in terms of body development and shape.

Koalas Joeys' Mother milk is a source of life for all the Koala Joeys. During the earlier days, this milk is full of carbohydrates, while latterly, this milk shows variation with more protein contents within it.

The koala joeys feed on pap as their first solid diet. Joeys start feeding on pap from 6th month and onwards while pap is excreted by their mothers after pellets.

Whenever, the baby Koala Joey reaches the age of 7 months, its tooth quickly start to emerge. By the time it research 1 year, it already develops perfect tooth for chewing eucalyptus leaves.

By nature mother koalas are very kind hearted rather than aggressive for their young koala Joeys. Whenever a Koala Joey leaves, its mother, their mothers after 9 months, they become aggressive. Koalas are solitary, therefore, they have to be aggressi

Koalas living in the Brisbane ranges of Australia enjoy more forests, eucalyptus leaves and food sources. Because of this abundance of food source, these koalas are bigger in size, breeding is more fertile and the population level is relatively highe

Koalas' territories and ranges within Queensland Australia is relatively bigger than that of the Victorian areas of Australia. However, there is less food (Eucalyptus Leaves) for Koalas in Queensland, and therefore, the population is less also.

Alpha dominant male Koalas have different behavior than other male Koalas. An alpha Dominant male Koala enjoys territory control, owning the female Koalas and also having a big control over the food which includes Eucalyptus trees.

Whenever, the young Koala Joeys grow up, female Koalas do become aggressive towards them. Because of this aggression of the female Koalas, the joeys do not come closer after 1 year and choose a life of their own.

Male Koalas have to do a scent marking to attract the female Koalas. Male Koalas spread their scent marking through trees. A koala has to rub its chest against the tree which creates a particular kind of a smelly secretion which attracts female Koala

Коала - сумчатое животное, которое принадлежит континенту Австралии. Подобно кенгуру, женские коалы также имеют мешочек на животе.

The origin of the Marsupial animals goes back to almost 125 million years. The Marsupials are believed to be originated from the Eurasian region within the super continent of Laurasia.

Australia's koala regions include the state of the Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and the South Australia. The Victorian state has maximum numbers of koalas.

The Australian koalas can be categorized into three types i.e., the Brown Koalas, the Gray koalas and the Gray Brown koalas. These koalas are categorized on the basis of their fur colors, sizes and the thickness of furs.

Brown koalas belong to the South Australian regions of Victoria and South Australia. These koalas have chocolate-brown colored fur which is thickest amongst all koalas.

The Gray koalas natively belong to Australia's Queensland region. The Gray koalas, as the name suggest have a gray colored fur on their bodies. The Gray koalas are also called the Queensland koalas.

The aboriginal and native Australian people were the first ones to discover and learn about koalas. Koalas’ modern-day discovery took place in the 18th century.

Koalas are one of the major victims of the dog attacks. Koalas are no match for dogs and usually more than 80% of koalas die if they suffer from the dog attacks.

Koalas have been the biggest victim of the habitat loss in Australia. During the last 3 decades more than 10 million hectares of koala’s habitat (Eucalyptus trees) has been lost to rapid urbanization and agricultural development.

Koalas preferably eat 5 times a day. Their key schedules to eat the Eucalyptus leaves are before sunrise, afternoon, post-afternoon, before sunset and after sunset.
