No. It is illegal to have a koala as a pet anywhere in the world. They are protected, native animals of Australia, and there are severe restrictions on zoos keeping them, let alone private individuals. It does not matter which country of the world you are in: you may not have a pet koala.
Quite simply, koalas are a protected species. This means it is illegal to have a koala. Few people understand the needs of a koala, and opening up native (or, as in the case overseas, exotic) animals to being owned as pets leads the way to abuse.
Kangaroos are most certainly illegal pets in the US, but very few people realise this. Many people believe they have a right to keep kangaroos as pets.
The Australian government has only permitted the export of kangaroos overseas for non-commercial purposes. This means that smaller, private zoos have been permitted to have them. It also means it is illegal for anyone to sell kangaroos as pets.
Despite permitting the export of these animals, this still does not mean that kangaroos may be kept as pets. Anyone who sells kangaroos overseas is, in effect, flouting Australian law by exploiting them for commercial purposes. It also increases the likelihood of abuse. Reports coming back to the RSPCA in Australia indicate that some of these animals have ended up in shelters.
You cannot get a permit to have a pet koala. Koalas are not permitted to be kept as pets anywhere in Australia, let alone the world.
As of August 12, 2011, there are approximately 86.4 million pet cats in the United States. (See related link below.)
You cannot get ASDA pet insurance for a pet in the United States. There are, however, many institutions within the United States which offer pet insurance.
A baby koala can be found in various zoos and in the wild in Australia. It is illegal to keep a baby koala as a pet in the United States without a Zoo licence.
No. Koalas may not be kept as pets anywhere, and that includes Australia. Koalas are natibe animals which are protected by law.
