Koalas live in eucalyptus trees. They know the trees within their home range by their scent. Koalas' rather large noses are exceptionally sensitive, and can detect differences between the trees. Also, a tree can "belong" to several koalas, as koalas do move between their home trees quite regularly.
During mating season, male koalas rub their scent gland on the base of a tree so that other male koalas know not to encroach on that territory.

Do koalas have a home or not?
Koalas do not have a home in the sense of a single, central location. Their "homes" are always in eucalyptus trees. They do not use tree hollows, nor do they make nests. Koalas nestle in the forks between trunk and branches, and shelter within the branches and leaves. This gives them adequate protection from all kinds of weather. Koalas do have a range of home trees, however - trees that are part of each koala's specific territory.
How do people affect koalas?
People cut down the koalas' homes to make farms, logging, and urban houses. Urban sprawl leads to koalas killed on the road and attacked by pets. In the past, people hunted koalas and made them almost extinct; but laws were passed in the 1920s to protect koalas.
Are koalas' feed source becoming scarce?
Not at all. It is not any loss of food source which is threatening koala populations. It is the loss of their homes, and the ever-increasing threat of becoming victim to dogs and cars as the koalas move between the trees in their home range.
