What is the population of koalas and is there any possibility of them becoming endangered?
The Australian Koala Foundation estimates koala numbers are between 43,000 and 80,000. Official government websites put the figure higher. The conservation status of koalas varies from region to region in Australia, but in no state are they legislated as "endangered", and nor is this likely to happen soon. Despite urging by conservation groups since around 1992, Australia's federal government has refused to list the koala as vulnerable. Even international conservation groups cannot agree. Meanwhile, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the koala as "potentially vulnerable", while the US Endangered Species Act lists the koala as "threatened".
Why is a koala introduced?
It isn't.The koala is native to Australia alone and has not been introduced to any other country.With the advent of white settlement in Australia, the koala became extinct in South Australia, but new colonies have been reintroduced to parts of that state.
How many endangered species of koalas are there in the world?
None.There is only one species of koala (Phascolarctus Cinereus), and some disagreement about whether there are two or three sub-species, or indeed, whether there are any sub-species at all. Either way, the koala is not yet officially endangered.
What other names are there for the koala?
There is no alternative name. A joey koala is simply a baby koala, as "joey" is the term for the young of any marsupial species.
Is a Koala a Native Australian Endangered Animal?
No. You will find a koala in Australia, but you will not find a koala bear in Australia, because no such creature exists. Koalas are marsupials, and are not related to bears in any way. There are many more native animals in Australia than just the koala. Also, the koala is not Australia's native animal emblem. Australia has no official faunal emblem.
