What part of a tree does a koala live in?

Answer 1

Koalas spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees. Of the 300 or so varieties in Australia, there are about 60 species preferred by the koala, and of these, another dozen or so which the koala will favour above others as a food source.

Koalas are certainly known to inhabit other native trees, such as melaleuca and acacia.

And, incidentally, a koala is not a bear.

Answer 2

Koalas primarily spend their lives in eucalyptus (gum) trees. Of the 300 or so varieties in Australia, there are about 60 species preferred by the koala, and of these, another dozen or so which the koala will favour above others as a food source.

Koalas are certainly known to inhabit other native trees, such as melaleuca and acacia.

Answer 3

Although koalas feed almost exclusively from just 14 species of eucalyptus, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus, they will climb a variety of trees. They climb any available eucalyptus, and have been seen climbing melaleuca, callistemon and even casuarina trees. If a predator threatens, koalas will climb any available tree.

Answer 4

Koalas live in the upper branches of eucalyptus (gum) trees. This is the part of the

tree known as the canopy.
