There have been famous koalas in the past. One was "Sam", a Survivor of backburning during the heatwave that preceded Victoria's "Black Saturday" bushfires. Sam captured the world's attention when she willingly took a drink from a volunteer firefighter's water bottle, but after some months she was found to be suffering terribly from chlamydia, so had to be put down humanely. The giant koala monument at Dadswells Bridge in Victoria has been renamed in her honour.
Koala's are famous because of their appearance and they really look like a cute and cuddly bear but the fact is that they are not bears they are marsupials, but that's why I think they're so famous.
No. But there is one species of koala.
There is only one main species of koala (Phascolarctus Cinereus), and some disagreement about whether there are two or three sub-species, or indeed, whether there are any sub-species at all.
According to the Australian Koala Foundation, the generally accepted sub-species are:
Phascolarctos Cinereus adustus - Northern Australia/Queensland
Phascolarctos Cinereus cinereus - Intermediate/New South Wales
Phascolarctos Cinereus victor - Southern/Victorian
Certainly. Koalas are found in bushland corridors along the eastern and southern coasts of Australia.
No. Koalas do not wear any items of clothing.
Not any more. Koalas were once killed for their fur, as koalas fur was in high demand overseas. Koalas are now protected by law, and it is illegal to hunt them for any reason.
Yes. Koalas are protected, and may not be hunted for any reason.
