To begin with, although a koala is classed as a solitary animal, it is not truly solitary. Koalas 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.

For this reason, koalas are regarded as solitary. They live and feed alone, but among other members of their community.
