There is not much scientific research into the life span of koalas in the wild, however they have been known to reach about 15 years of age in captivity. It is thought that, as animals tend to live a few years more in captivity than in the wild, a koala in its natural habitat would live anywhere from 8 to 14 years. == ==

What is the average age for a koala?

Presumably the question means the average age at which a koala dies. While koalas have been known to live 18 years, in reality they die much earlier than that. In the wild there are few predators, and they have an average lifespan of 12-13 years. Many koalas, however, live in suburban fringes of cities and towns. Their average lifespan tends to be between 2 and 3 years, due to being hit by cars, or from dog attacks, as they move between the trees within their home range.
