Koalas
Native to Australia and exclusive to the eucalypt forests of Eastern and South-Eastern Australia, there are only three subspecies of Koala. Solitary animals, Koalas sleep as long as long as 18 hours a day and have a low-energy diet of eucalyptus leaves.

How do animalia kingdom get energy?
Simply by comsuming other substances such as fish, grass, meat, eggs, and so on.
How do you get 10 year old to sleep by herself?
If a girl around ten is having a problem sleeping, give her some warm milk of sing her a song. If this doent work, ask her if there is anything wrong. If so talk to her about it and this might clam her down. If not ask a doctor if your daughter is having her period.
Ummmm.........Some kids are just afraid of the dark, and so are some adults. In fact, most people just do not like sleeping all alone. Humans have natural instincts that make us afraid of the dark. It is not a mental problem or a freaking period issue (how stupid of someone to say that), but an instinctual reaction. People used to all sleep together up until the past 100 years.
Now that being said, I gave my daughter a TV, leave her door open, and we start bedtime extra early so she gets enough time to relax and fall asleep. I also let her sleep with me anytime she is scared. She is almost 10, and super smart and sweet. She is independent in all other areas, and it is not really an issue because we do not make it out to be one.
Where in the US can you see a koala bear?
You will not see any koalas in the wild in the US, and there are very few in any zoos.
Koalas are only found in parts of eastern Australia (excluding Tasmania) in the wild. There are also some new introduced colonies of koalas in Western Australia.
What is Mandurah's faunal emblem?
Mandurah is in Western Australia, and therefore has the same faunal emblems as the rest of Western Australia - the numbat and the black swan.
What are the strong claws and opposable digits found in a koala's hand and feet considered?
It is an adaptation
It sound like real love if you have been together 7 years, hopefully marraige will follow.
I don't understand the rest of the question, what is the problem? You say fate has been unkind....explain and ask a new question.
AnswerThe question is very confusing. If you have loved each other for OVER 25 years then I am guessing he is not using you. He loves you..You have to write the rest of it in order for us to give you a definite answer..occasionally, but most of the time they sleep on the ground. Leopards are more of the tree dwelling sort, and will sleep, groom, rest and even eat in trees.

How many koalas are left in the wild?
Many experts say as few as 80,000 Koalas left in the wild, while the Australian Koala Foundation estimates figures are possibly as low as 43,000, and certainly no more than 80,000.
Koalas are still listed as "common" in most parts of Queensland, but in the southeast region of Queensland, their status will soon be changed to "vulnerable", following a drop of over 60% in koala numbers in the past decade. The NSW Government listed the koala as "rare and vulnerable" in 1992, and following protective measures, this has been changed to "vulnerable"; as a result, koala numbers are improving. In Victoria, the koala is not on the threatened species list at all, and in some protected and remote regions, there is actually an overpopulation problem. Where new colonies have been established on Kangaroo island, off the coast of South Australia, there is also beginning to be some concern regarding overpopulation.
Are koala populations currently being monitored?
Koala populations are being monitored, but current methods have their limitations.
The Australian Koala Foundation works actively to monitor koala populations, but they have limited resources. Their view is that the Australian koala population has dropped to below 80,000, but because not enough research on individual populations is being done, they cannot be sure of the accuracy of their estimate. The problem is that the Federal Government remains of the belief that koala numbers are much healthier than that. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee of the Australian Government has put the koala population in the 'hundreds of thousands'.

Sloe would be a homonym for slow. Sloe is a particular fruit.
Disclaimer: This is not an easy answer because a lot depends on the sample size, distribution of population, etc. But for the sake of this I will assume that we are talking about a normally-distributed population and a sufficiently large sample size.
You want to test the hypothesis that smokers need less sleep than the general public. You are told that the general public needs an average of 7.7 hours of sleep. So:
Avgpop = 7.7
The hypothesis that you are testing (H1) is that smokers need less sleep:
Avgsmoker < Avgpopulation or Avgsmoker < 7.7 hours
Your null hypothesis (Ho) would be that there is no difference between the two groups OR that smokers need MORE sleep than the general population:
Avgpopulation >= Avgsmoker or Avgsmoker <= 7.7 hours
You test that hypothesis by taking a sample of X smokers and comparing their average number of sleep to that of your population. You then test to see whether any differences you observe would likely have been found due to chance or because the sample is different from the population. The more smokers that you randomly sample, the more likely it will be that a given difference will be due to smokers need a different amount of sleep than the general public.
Lets say that you sampled 200 smokers and their average night of sleep was 7.55 hours with a standard deviation of 1.0. Now we can calculate the test statistic. Because we are assuming a normal population and the sample size is greater than 30, we can use a one-sample z-test (it is one sample because we are taking one sample and comparing it to a known mean).
Z = (Sample Mean - Population Mean)/(Standard Deviation of Sample/Square Root of Sample Size)
Z = (7.55 - 7.7)/(1.0/Sqrt(200))
Z = -.15/.0707
Z = -2.12
We now compare our test statistic to a critical value table. (one for the z-statistic can be found here: http://math2.org/math/stat/distributions/z-dist.htm
That Z-statistic corresponds to a p-value of .017. This means that the probability of randomly drawing a sample with this observed average assuming the null hypothesis is true is .017 or 1.7%. At a confidence level of 98.3% and below you would reject the null hypothesis. THIS DOES NOT MEAN WITH CERTAINTY THAT SMOKERS NEED LESS SLEEP THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC, however the data would suggest that the hypothesis that smokers need less sleep is true (in this case).
What are the starfish's closest relatives?
The starfish's closest relatives are Brittle stars.
Sea urchins and sea cucumbers are also close relatives.
What is the ratio for hours in a 7 days?
It is not a ratio. 7x24 is 168 hours in 7 days if that helps.
Can you eat sugarless gum with an expander?
I dont think you should because my cousin did, And he broke it. But if your careful then you should be okayy.
No, koalas only live in Australia.
Koalas are endemic to the continent of Australia, meaning that they are not found on any other continent or in any other island group.
1. Koalas are not mean.
2. Eucalyptus leaves do not make them high - this is a complete myth.
Do koala bears get drugged by the trees they feed of?
No. This is a myth. The problem is that eucalyptus leaves are impossible for most animals to even digest. The koala has to have a particular type of metabolism in order to eat the gum leaves, and this results in a mostly sluggish animal but one that can actually run quite fast when it needs to.
How are they trying to make koalas not endangered?
Koalas are not endangered.
The koala has been a protected species since earlier in the twentieth century, and this action has brought it back from the brink of extinction, a situation which was due to it being hunted for its fur. Koalas enjoy a quite healthy population in many parts of eastern Australia, although currently they are listed as "vulnerable" in southeast Queensland. Koalas are a protected native species and many things are being done or trialled to prevent their becoming vulnerable in other areas.
It is up to the individual state governments in Australia to determine how koalas are best helped. Trials have been done to build special passages (as mentioned above) for koalas to travel under roadways to reach feeding grounds. For many years, the Redland Shire (now city) of southeast Queensland maintained speed limits on roads for certain seasons of the year and times of the day, to minimise the risk of koalas been hit by cars. The trials were unsuccessful, and subsequently scrapped. More successful have been LED displays which light up as drivers approach: if the driver is travelling too fast for the koala zone, the sign conveys this information.
Other trials have seen the management of housing estates, where the keeping of domestic pets such as dogs is tightly controlled, to minimise danger to koalas. In some areas, eco-passages have been built for koalas and other native wildlife to safely cross over or under busy roadways.
Some housing developers try to "buy" government approval for large housing estates by including plans for koala hospitals to be built within their areas of planned development. Sometimes local governments will not compromise the safety of koalas with such a ridiculous scheme, and refuse approval for such housing applications. Research on koala needs is constantly being carried out, and other areas have koala and native wildlife hospitals anyway, seeing a need for such a facility with the increasing numbers of koalas being injured by cars, people or dogs.
Initially there were no koalas in Western Australia, and South Australia's population had been wiped out by the 1920s. This has now been reversed. Kangaroo Island off the coast of SA and isolated islands off Victoria's coast have actually seen an overpopulation problem due to these protected colonies. New colonies have been established in Western Australia, and the koalas are breeding quite successfully. Captive breeding programmes are among the most successful way to prevent koalas reaching "endangered" status.
