Do koalas socialise together

Not really. Koalas are essentially solitary animals which live alone, but they live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male. The koalas within a colony do not socialise, except for during breeding season.

Koalas feed alone and travel alone, but they understand their own social structure. When one of their community dies, another does not immediately move in and take its place. It takes about a year for the scent of the previous occupant to fade, and only then will another koala move in to its range.

What is a koala bear like?

Firstly, a koala is not a bear. It is a marsupial. Koalas have woolly light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly. They have a broad head with small eyes, large furry ears and a distinctive large oval-shaped black nose. Koalas are shy animals which will avoid humans wherever possible. They are solitary animals, which have overlapping home ranges, so several koalas may live in the same tree. They tend not to socialise with each other, however, with males and females restricting their Southern koalas are darker in colour than their northern counterparts, with shades of brown. Nothern male koalas grow to 74 cm and weigh 9 kg, while southern males can grow to 82 cm and 15 kg.
