Best Answer

There is no such species or sub-species as the "eastern koala".

Koalas vary in height according to whether they are from the north or the southern regions of Australia.

Koalas in northern parts of Australia are smaller, with males growing to a height (or body length) of 74 cm and females growing to 72 cm. Southern koalas are larger. The males can grow to 82 cm and females can grow to 73 cm.

What is a Victorian koala?

The koala on the whole is best suited to the eastern regions of the Australian continent. It is found as far west as Adelaide (capital of South Australia), up the eastern coast to the base of Cape York Peninsula (far north Queensland). There are three subspecies of koala, but their classification has not been validated. One of these so-called sub-species is the Victorian koala. Coming from the southern, colder climatic areas, it tends to have longer, thicker fur with darker colouring, sometimes including brown on the back and forearms. It has fluffy, white ear tufts, unlike its northern counterparts.


What are some of the koala's defences against its predators?

The koala's main defence is its ability to climb tall, straight trees quickly, as their predators are unable to follow. It does have sharp claws, but these are better used for climbing than for defence.
