Koalas spend between 20 and 22 hours a day sleeping. They would not make good pets if one was looking for an affectionate and playful pet. Quite simply, koalas are a protected species.

Koalas are endemic to Australia, meaning they are not found in the wild anywhere else in the world. There may be a few US zoos which have permission to have koalas, but regulations controlling the movement of koalas outside of Australia are very strict.
The main predation of adult koalas comes from introduced feral animals like the fox and from domestic pets. Dogs in suburban areas are particularly dangerous, attacking and killing even grown-up koalas.
