Are Koalas common

Answer 1

Given that there is no such creature as a "koala bear", the answer is no country.

However, koalas, which are not bears, are common in Australia, specifically, the eastern half.

Answer 2

Koalas are common in some parts of Australia, and they have been wiped out in other parts. There are no koalas in Tasmania, and until new, small colonies were recently introduced into Western Australia, there had been none there since white settlement caused their extinction there.

Under the Federal Conservation Act, koalas are listed as inhabiting four states:

• Queensland - They are considered to be common throughout this state, except throughout the southeast, where its conservation status is "vulnerable".
• New South Wales - Officially koalas are listed as vulnerable in this state, but their status varies within local regions from "secure" to "locally extinct".
• South Australia - The koala was completely wiped out in South Australia by the 1920s, but there have been recent, successful attempts to recolonise southeastern parts of the state, and these colonies are thriving. They can be seen in areas of the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Attempts to create a self-sustaining koala population on Kangaroo island (off the southern coast) have been highly successful, and there is almost an "overpopulation" problem there, due to their protected status and the absence of natural predators.
• Victoria - The Koala is common in this state and is considered to be a booming population. This is one of the areas where Koalas seem to have a stable population, both on the mainland and on a number of offshore islands.

Answer 3

Koalas are not bears at all, and are found only in Australia. They are not officially classed as "common" but are regarded as "vulnerable" in many areas. However, where koalas have been introduced on Kangaroo Island, they have become common, and there is an overpopulation problem.

Depending on which part of the world one is referring to, bears may be classed as "threatened" or "vulnerable".
