What time of the year are koalas born?
Koalas are nocturnal, meaning they usually come out at night. However, they can certainly be seen during the day as they move between trees in their home range. Early mornings are one of the times they are most active.
Are koalas endangered and overpopulated?
Koalas are not endangered, and they have only recently been added to the "threatened species" list in parts of Australia. While they have all but disappeared from some regions in Australia, in other areas there is definitely an overpopulation problem. Kangaroo Island is one of these areas.
Can you list all the things koalas can eat?
Koalas are herbivorous, living almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. Their name is derived from an aboriginal word roughly meaning "doesn't drink". Koalas receive most of the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves, although they have been observed drinking water as well.Koalas live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. They also occasionally eat the gum tree blossoms. Two of the koala's digits on their forelimbs act as opposable thumbs, enabling koalas to reach out and grasp the leaves they want.While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas eat from only about 60 of the species, consuming about half a kilogram of eucalyptus leaves every day. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by Victoria koalas will be different to those eaten by north Queensland koalas. Koalas have been known to also eat the buds, flowers and bark of these particular species, while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies. Koalas have been seen feeding in eucalypt trees such as Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
Are koalas considered to be endangered animals?
No. As of 2012, koalas are not endangered. Current population estimates by the Australian Koala Foundation put the figure at around 80,000, but the trend seems to be dropping. Although the koala is not endangered, on 30 April 2012, the federal government moved to include koalas on the list of threatened species. The 'threatened' designation only applied to the most at-risk populations in Queensland, NSW and the ACT.
Is the amount of koalas expected to rise?
No. Although koalas are not yet officially on the "endangered" list, there are numerous threats which mean their population is expected to continue to decline.
Are koalas endangered in Australia?
No. As of 2013, koalas are not classified as endangered in Australia. There has been considerable lobbying to list them as endangered, but only in April 2013 were they even listed as Vulnerable.

Are Queensland koalas endangered?
The koala is not endangered. They are considered to be "Secure". The conservation status of koalas varies from region to region in Australia. For example, due to farming, land clearing and habitat loss, native koalas were eradicated from Western Australia and South Australia in the last century, but moves have been made to reestablish new colonies in both states. Currently, koalas are thriving on Kangaroo Island in SA, and in other isolated colonies. Koalas are still listed as "common" in most parts of Queensland, but in the southeast region of Queensland, their status has been changed to "vulnerable". the NSW Givernment listed the koala as "rare and vulnerable" in 1992, and following protective measures, this has been changed to "vulnerable". In Victoria, the koala is not on the threatened species list at all, and in some protected and remote regions, there is actually an overpopulationproblem.
How many koalas have died?
While it is impossible to tell exactly how many koalas die each year, the Australian Koala Foundation estimates that about 4000 koalas are killed each year by cars or dogs, largely the result of habitat loss and increased housing and industrial developments.
How were 1950s communists punished?
