What are a koala's breeding habits?

Answer 1

Koalas breed from September to February. Females breed from 2 years of age, and males from 3-4 years after they have established their own territory. Males are extremely aggressive during mating periods. Thirty-five days after mating, the female produces one joey weighing about 0.5 grams and about 2 cm long. Koalas have a woolly light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly. They have a broad head with small eyes, large furry ears and a distinctive large black nose. Females has two teats and a rear opening pouch. They spend up to 20 hours per day sleeping and the rest eating.

Answer 2

It is not much a ritual. The male Koala chases the female either on the ground or in a tree until he catches her. If she is willing, there is no problem, if she is not willing, she fights the male off until he loses interest.

Answer 3

It is not much of a ritual. The male chases the female across the ground or around the treetop until he catches her, unless she can outrun the male or fight him off, copulation takes place and the male moves on immediately.
