How do koalas survive through winter?
Koalas live in exactly the same place during winter as they do in summer, and that is in eucalyptus trees. Despite the changing seasons, koalas do not need to change where they live, as they are well equipped physically for cold winter nights and hot summer days.
Do koala bears live in a jungle safari?
There are two main misconceptions in this question. Firstly, koalas are not bears. They are marsupials, whereas bears are placental mammals. The two are completely unrelated. Secondly, koalas do not live in the jungle. There are no jungles in Australia, but there are rainforests. Koalas cannot live in rainforests, either, as rainforest trees do not provide the food koalas need. Koalas live in eucalyptus bushland or low woodland: wherever there are sufficient eucalyptus trees of their preferred variety.
Do koalas live in a cold place?
Generally, Australia's climate is warm, and koalas thrive in warmer regions, but they are by no means restricted to warm areas alone. Koalas can be found in a range of climatic conditions, as long as they have their food requirements met. They are known to inhabit cooler areas of southern Australia, including sub-alpine regions, and extend north up the Queensland coast (sub-tropical, but not rainforests) and inland where the weather is hotter and drier. They are found right along the eastern coast down to Victoria, and in pockets of eastern South Australia, where summer temperatures can exceed 40 degrees and winter temperatures drop to almost zero. They are not found in alpine areas.
Are there kangaroos in Kenya Korea or Kuwait?

In which country would you find the largest koala habitat?
The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. Their closest relative is the wombat. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
What mammal group do koalas and kangaroos belong to?
Koalas and Kangaroos both belong to the mammal group known as marsupials. These animals are commonly known as the "pouched mammals", though a few species do not have full abdominal pouches. However, these animals are all characterised by giving birth to undeveloped young which cannot survive independently of the mother. In order to survive, they must latch onto a teat, which swells in their mouth, securing them in place: some are then protected by a pouch, others by a flap of skin, and others just by the mother's underbelly.Within the classification of marsupials, koalas and kangaroos belong specifically to the order of Diprotodontia. This word is from the Greek words 'protos' and 'odontos', meaning 'two front teeth' and it refers to the prominent large pair of incisors on the lower jaw. This order also includes common marsupials such as the wombat, wallaby, sugar glider and possum of Australia (different from the opossum).
Why do you have kangaroos?

Where in Victoria do koalas live?
Koalas live almost anywhere in Victoria, but less so in the western regions of the state. Koalas are particularly prolific along the southern and eastern coast where active campaigns by the government and conservation groups have taken place to repopulate the area with koalas. Koalas can be found in open bushland, sub-alpine bushland, coastal bushland and anywhere where their preferred food source is.

How does a koala adapt to the Australian desert?
Koalas did not need to adapt to Australia. It is the only place they have ever existed. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals.
