Is a brown koala bear rare?

Answer 1

'''HE is one of the rarest animals in the Australian bush - a pure white koala.''' Nicknamed Mick. Unlike albino koalas which have pink eyes and noses, Mick has a black nose and yellow eyes. His lack of colour or markings is due to a recessive gene

Answer 2

No, the Koala is not the rarest animal in the world. The Sumatran Rabbit is the rarest animal in the world, which has only been seen a few times and photographed a couple.

The koala is not even "endangered" in Australia.

Answer 3

Brown koala bears do not exist in name. The animal is known simply as a koala, not 'koala bear', as it is not a bear in any form.

There is just one species of koala, and that is Phascolartus Cinereus: the 'cinereus' literally means 'ash-coloured'. However, koalas in the southern regions of Australia do tend to have fur that is darker, tending towards brown more than grey, unlike their northern counterparts. These southern koalas are not at all rare: rather, they are probably more plentiful than the northern koalas.

Answer 4

The koala is not a bear; nor is it classified as "rare".

Answer 5

Koalas are neither bears, nor endangered as of 2013.

Answer 6

No, but deciding on the rarest animal depends on how you lump or split subspecies. They are probably the rarest species of bear.
