No, koalas do not live in the tundra. Koalas require eucalyptus bushland in temperate or sub-tropical zones of eastern Australia. Tundra is too cold. Australia's only tundra is on Mt Kosciuszko and nearby high country, which does not support the eucalyptus trees koalas need for their survival.

No.

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a marsupial mammal (not a bear). It is endemic to the continent of Australia, meaning that it is not found on any other continent or island group. Under the Federal Conservation Act, the species is listed as inhabiting four states:

  • Queensland - They are considered to be common throughout this state, except throughout the southeast, where its conservation status is "vulnerable".
  • New South Wales - Officially koalas are listed as vulnerable in this state, but their status varies within local regions from "secure" to "locally extinct".
  • South Australia - The koala was completely wiped out in South Australia by the 1920s, but there have been recent, successful attempts to recolonise southeastern parts of the state, and these colonies are thriving. They can be seen in areas of the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Attempts to create a self-sustaining koala population on Kangaroo island (off the southern coast) have been highly successful, and there is almost an "overpopulation" problem there, due to their protected status and the absence of natural predators.
  • Victoria - The Koala is common in this state and is considered to be a booming population. This is one of the areas where Koalas seem to have a stable population, both on the mainland and on a number of offshore islands.

Koalas have also recently been introduced into selected national parks in Western Australia. These colonies are succeeding, with new joeys being observed each year.

The koala is not found on any other continent or island group. It lives mostly within the temperate zones. Its habitat is eucalypt woodland and bushland, but of the several hundred species of eucalyptus ("gum trees"), koalas prefer about 60 varieties, with their specific preferences being limited to a couple of dozen. After that, there are still just one or two key species that a koala population must have to thrive, even if the number of trees of that species is only small.

Australia's most common large kangaroo, the red kangaroo, is not found in Australia's island state of Tasmania.

Foresters kangaroos, a sub-species of Eastern Grey kangaroo, are found in Tasmania. Bennett's Wallaby (also known as the Red-necked wallaby) is found on the island also, while Rufous-bellied pademelons, much smaller members of the kangaroo family, are abundant.

No. Koalas are found only in Australia, and Australia has no tundra. Koalas need eucalyptus bushland in which to live.

Yes. The grassland is one of many habitats in which the kangaroo lives, but it is by no means the only habitat.

No. There is no tundra in Australia, which is where all species of kangaroos live (with the exception of some tree kangaroos).
