What is the range of the koala?

Answer 1

Koalas are found down the eastern seaboard of Australia, and the temperature through this region varies tremendously. Thus, koalas are able to live in a range of temperatures.

They inhabit southern Victoria, where winter minimum temperatures easily drop to just a couple of degrees Celsius (0 degrees is freezing point) but summer temperatures exceed 36 degrees Celsius on a regular basis.

Koalas also live in the north, where temperatures range from 12 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees and sometimes higher.

Answer 3

The koala is found in the northern sub-tropical climates, through the temperate and humid climates of the eastern coast, down to the south. In the south, koalas face extreme, hot summers and very cold winter nights.

Answer 4

Koalas are native to eastern Australia. They are found only in eucalyptus bushland, from northern Queensland (not the very far north) down through New South Wales and Victoria, the state in which they appear to be most populous. They are not found in Tasmania.

New colonies have been introduced to Western Australia. After koalas were completely wiped out in South Australia, there were 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.
