It means it is a falsehood.
Koalas are essentially solitary animals, but they live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range of trees for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of trees of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male. Territorial disputes occur (and can be heard at night in suburban areas where koalas may live) when a younger male is trying to assert his dominance.
Koalas have a number of trees in their home range, which may overlap with other koalas' trees, but they can peacefully occupy the same tree within their range. Apart from that, although they live in communities, they do not have a great deal of interaction with each other, except during breeding season.

What is a inherited trait for koalas?
to climb very tall trees
How do koalas move from place to place?
Koalas climb up and down trees very efficiently. hey also walk on all fours (or sometimes run) between their home trees.
Are there koalas in Mexico?
No, koalas live in Australia. Australians are very protective of their koalas, and leave very few into zoos. In fact, I think there might be NO koalas in zoos; that would be a fun topic to look up. =) Hope this helped!
Do koalas climb?
Yes. Koalas are very efficient climbers. They have very sharp claws which enable them to climb tall, straight eucalyptus trees which have smooth bark, a feat matched by very few other mammals. Koalas are essentially arboreal, that is, tree-dwelling marsupials. They spend most of their time in eucalyptus trees, where they find their food, which is primarily eucalyptus leaves and blossoms.
How high do koalas live?
Koalas can live in eucalyptus trees which reach anywhere between 10 and 50 metres high. They are capable of climbing very high.
Do koalas have sharp nails?
Koalas have claws rather than nails, and they are very sharp indeed. Their sharp claws enable them to grip and climb tall, straight gum trees. Trees which are frequented by koalas, and which have smooth bark, are readily identifiable by the distinctive sets of claw marks on the bark.
Why don't koalas sleep on the ground?
Koalas have virtually no defence. They need to stay up high in gum trees where they are safe from predators. Although they climb trees very quickly, it is better for them to stay in the tree as they are specially adapted to living in their arboreal habitat.
What is a koala good at?
Koalas are excellent at climbing. They have very sharp claws which enable them to grip and climb tall, straight gum trees with very smooth bark.
What helps koalas move branch to branch?
Koalas have very strong claws for climbing gum trees. Their front paws have five finders, two of which function as "opposable thumbs", giving them extra gripping ability.
What are koalas' defense?
Koalas have very little defence against predators. Their best defence is to climb trees, which they do with speed and agility. If cornered, they may scratch with their surprisingly sharp claws, or bite other creatures. This is insufficient, however, and in a fight with with an unleashed dog, the koalas will definitely come out worst.
Why are koalas needed?
Koalas are not needed but, very important to the fox.
Are Koalas crazy animals?
No. On the contrary, koalas are generally very sedate.
