What is the average temperature the koala lives in?

Answer 1

Koalas live in tropical to temperate eucalypt forest and woodlands and can be found along the eastern and south-eastern coastal regions. They live in eucalyptus trees and are mostly nocturnal and eat certain types of eucalypt leaves exclusively. They 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. 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. They can live for up to 18 years for females and a bit less for males. They spend up to 20 hours per day sleeping and the rest eating. Koalas can leap up to 2 metres and can swim. They curl up into a ball to keep warm and spread out to keep cool.

Answer 2

Koalas are found in a range of temperatures.

They inhabit southern Victoria, where winter minimum temperatures easily drop to just a couple of degrees Celsius (0 degrees is freezing point) but summer temperatures exceed 36 degrees Celsius on a regular basis.

Koalas also live in the north, where temperatures range from 12 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees and sometimes higher.

Answer 3

Koalas are able to live in a range of temperatures.

They inhabit southern Victoria, where winter minimum temperatures easily drop to just a couple of degrees Celsius (0 degrees is freezing point) but summer temperatures exceed 36 degrees Celsius on a regular basis.

Koalas also live in the north, where temperatures range from 12 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees and sometimes higher.

Answer 4

Koalas are found down the eastern seaboard of Australia, and the temperature through this region varies tremendously. Thus, koalas are able to live in a range of temperatures.

They inhabit southern Victoria, where winter minimum temperatures easily drop to just a couple of degrees Celsius (0 degrees is freezing point) but summer temperatures exceed 36 degrees Celsius on a regular basis.

Koalas also live in the north, where temperatures range from 12 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees and sometimes higher.

Answer 5

Koalas can be found in a range of climatic zones, as long as they have their food requirements met. They most commonly inhabit warm temperate zones. They are known to inhabit cooler areas of southern Australia, including sub-alpine regions, and extend north up the Queensland coast (sub-tropical, but not rainforests) and inland where the weather is hotter and drier.

They are not found in alpine areas.
