When koalas move do they move together or alone?

Koalas do not travel except when they are moving around between their home trees. Koalas are essentially solitary animals, 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. 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.

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.

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.
