There is only one type of Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), the distinction is, some live in the tropics (the Northern koala) and the majority live in the temperate south (the Southern koala). 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. Northern koalas can grow to 740 mm and 9 kg for males and 720 mm and 7.25 kg for females.

Southern koalas can grow to 820 mm and 15 kg for males and 730 mm and 11 kg for females. The Southern koala has shaggier fur, and the fur around the face and ears is thicker.

What does a koala look like when camouflaged?

Koalas do not actively employ camouflage. However, because they are slow moving and can sit immobile for long periods of time, they tend to look like part of the tree. Eucalyptus trees have leaves which hang down in clumps, and when the sunlight shines on the tree, this creates a "mottled" effect. Koalas blend into this mottled appearance.
