Firstly, koalas are nocturnal. They are more active at night.
Secondly, it is a matter of their metabolism and diet. Koalas have a slow metabolic rate which is required for them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and rather low in nutrition, so the fact that the koala has a slow metabolic rate means it can keep the food within its digestive system for as long as possible in order to maximise the energy that can be extracted from the leaves. This slow metabolic rate also means the koalas sleep for more time each day in order to conserve energy.

Why is a koala nocturnal?
Essentially, yes, koalas are nocturnal. While they do sleep or are inactive up to 20 hours of the day, their waking times are primarily between the hours of 7pm and 7am. This is when they can be heard having territorial disputes. They can on occasion, however, be observed moving about during the daytime as well. In certain parts of Australia, koalas have been known to stop traffic when they have attempted to cross the road during peak hour times.

What time did the tree give off oxygen?
During the daytime. The production of photosynthesis, which can only occur during daylight (usually 8am-6pm or so) releases oxygen as a bi-product. Therefore, oxygen is expelled from plants in the daytime, and CO2 is released during the night.
How do koalas know their homes?
Koalas live in eucalyptus trees. They know the trees within their home range by their scent. Koalas' rather large noses are exceptionally sensitive, and can detect differences between the trees. Also, a tree can "belong" to several koalas, as koalas do move between their home trees quite regularly. During mating season, male koalas rub their scent gland on the base of a tree so that other male koalas know not to encroach on that territory.
