There is not much scientific research into the life span of koalas in the wild, however they have been known to reach about 15 years of age in captivity. It is thought that, as animals tend to live a few years more in captivity than in the wild, a koala in its natural habitat would live anywhere from 8 to 14 years. == ==
Koalas can live up to 18 years for females and 12 years for males. However, the average lifespan of a male koala in suburban areas is closer to 2-3 years. It suffers a high mortality rate from accidents with cars, as it is more likely than the female to wander. The lifespan of a koala changes according to different factors, including stress.
Koalas can live as long as 17 years: however, males' life expectancy is less than 10 years (due to injuries during fights, dogs and cars). Females generally live longer. Koalas living in an undisturbed habitat would have a greater life expectancy than those living in suburbia.
A male koala in captivity can live for up to 16 years. The average lifespan of a male in the wild, particularly in suburban areas, is closer to 2-3 years. It is more likely to be savaged by dogs or hit by cars, as it moves between its home trees more often, especially during breeding season.

The lifespan of the Flatback turtle, found in Australian waters, ranges fro an average of 50 years to as much as 80 years.
Australian Koala Foundation was created in 1986.
There is no such thing as an Australian koala bear. Australia has no bears.The scientific name of the koala is Phascolarctus Cinereus.

The bear is not an Australian animal. Most read 'koala bear', right? But it is just 'koala'.
The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an Australian, marsupial, mammal.
A koala is an 'Endotherm.' Koalas are Australian mammals.
The kangaroo and the koala are both native Australian marsupials.

Presumably the question means the average age at which a koala dies. While koalas have been known to live 18 years, in reality they die much earlier than that. In the wild there are few predators, and they have an average lifespan of 12-13 years. Many koalas, however, live in suburban fringes of cities and towns. Their average lifespan tends to be between 2 and 3 years, due to being hit by cars, or from dog attacks, as they move between the trees within their home range.
