Koalas are essentially solitary animals but they live in complex social communities where there is a dominant male. Territorial disputes occur (and can be heard at night in suburban areas where koalas may live) when a younger male is trying to assert his dominance.
Koalas have a number of trees in their home range, which may overlap with other koalas' trees, but they can peacefully occupy the same tree within their range.
Apart from that, although they live in communities, they do not have a great deal of interaction with each other, except during breeding season.

Koalas are known to be lazy. They like to lounge around in eucalyptus trees eating and lay around sunbathing.
No. Climbing is instinctive behaviour for koalas.
Koalas are not bears. Koalas are grazing animals, spending most of their waking hours in the trees, eating eucalyptus leaves. They grasp the leaves with their "hands" which have opposable thumbs.
Koalas prefer to live by themselves. They are able to mark territory and make noises to communicate with other koalas.
Koalas are social animals within their own species. The animals have few predators. Among the animals that will hunt and eat koalas are dingo's, owls, eaglets, and pythons.
Social behavior usually involves communication
Koalas are essentially solitary creatures. Because of this, there is no set name for a groups of koalas. When talking about an area that has several koalas living there, it is known as a "koala colony". Although koalas live alone, they live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male. Koalas do feed alone and travel alone, but they understand their own social structure. When one of their community dies, another does not immediately move in and take its place. It takes about a year for the scent of the previous occupant to fade, and only then will another koala move in to its range.
