Koalas are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day. A koala may spend between 16 and 20 hours asleep each day, but it is more active at night.

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.
