The koala was endangered and hunting for its fur had finally been banned. The US, a key market, reinforced the ban with a prohibition on imports.
popcorn, too noisey
They were killed, because of their fur which was used to make many things. It was a horrible thing, and the koala population decreased heavily because of it. Although the koala population decreared heavily koalas are still not endangered just very close to it.
No. Koalas are not found in the wild anywhere outside of Australia.
for us to see
Of course not.
The 1920s were called the "roaring 20s" in the United States.

You will not see any koalas in the wild in the US, and there are very few in any zoos. Koalas are only found in parts of eastern Australia (excluding Tasmania) in the wild. There are also some new introduced colonies of koalas in Western Australia.
no
Koalas are not poached for their fur. There was a time when the population of these animals dropped to dangerously low levels, due to the fur trade. this was in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but the fur trade was unfortunately quite legitimate. There was a great market in the US and the UK for koala skins. They are now protected by law.
