No. There is only one main 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.
According to the Australian Koala Foundation (see link below) the generally accepted sub-species are:
- Phascolarctos Cinereus adustus - Northern Australia/Queensland
- Phascolarctos Cinereus cinereus - Intermediate/New South Wales
- Phascolarctos Cinereus victor - Southern/Victorian
The Southern/Victorian variety has also been introduced into South Australia and small protected areas of Western Australia.
Koalas of the southern varieties are larger than their northern counterparts, while their fur also tends to be thicker, darker and more brown than grey.
