Koalas are essentially solitary creatures. Because of this, there is no set name for a groups of koalas. When talking about an area that has several koalas living there, it is known as a "koala colony".
Although koalas live alone, 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 for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male.
Koalas do feed alone and travel alone, but they understand their own social structure. When one of their community dies, another does not immediately move in and take its place. It takes about a year for the scent of the previous occupant to fade, and only then will another koala move in to its range.
