Koalas are indigenous to Australia and live in tropical to temperate eucalypt forest and woodlands and can be found along the eastern and south-eastern coastal regions. They live in eucalyptus trees and are mostly nocturnal and eat certain types of eucalypt leaves exclusively.

Koalas are essentially solitary animals which live alone, but they live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, and they have their own specific range of home trees, so 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.

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.

With regard to the koala's own community, 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.

Koalas do 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.

With regard to other animals in the koala's habitat and environment, koalas live in bushland, where a variety of other native Australian animals may live on the ground. These can include other species of possums and gliders, wallabies, wombats, quolls, bandicoots and echidnas, among other creatures. Birds include kookaburras, lyrebirds, scrub pheasants, tawny frogmouth, and parrots such as cockatoos, lorikeets, galahs, corellas and rosellas. Goannas and a variety of snakes are also common in this type of bushland.

Ringtail possums and Greater gliders share the same niche as a koala. All of these animals are capable of living entirely on eucalyptus leaves, and they are primarily arboreal, or tree-dwelling.
