Koalas

Koalas are not unduly bothered by predators. The main predators, which are mostly a problem to young koalas, are dogs, foxes, feral cats and dingoes (the latter are not common in most places where koalas occur). Rarely, goannas and pythons may predate upon them but often their ranges don't overlap. Young koalas may also be taken by snakes and various Birds of Prey such as hawks, kites, Powerful Owls and Wedge-Tailed Eagles.

The Aboriginal people used them as a source of meat. Various animals including dingoes, dogs, foxes and cats will also take them when possible and smaller koalas can be taken by snakes, goannas and larger birds such as eagles, hawks, kites and falcons, etc.

Yes they are able to swim in an emergency but like many animals would much rather avoid the experience.

Baby koalas, called joeys, drink mother's milk during their first 6-7 months of life. After 30 weeks, the mother also produces a substance called pap. This substance is a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves.

Phascolarctidae is simply the scientific name for the koala, which is not a bear, but a marsupial.

No. The Koala is not found naturally in either Western Australia or Tasmania.

However, recent attempts to introduce the species into selected national parks of Western Australia have been highly successful, with the colonies increasing in size.

Koalas are only native to the eastern states.

Koalas are herbivores and eat mainly eucalypt leaves, and some other plant species - they don't eat meat.

Koalas need moisture, but they get it out of the eucalyptus leaves. The word Koala is believed to come from an aboriginal word meaning 'no drink.'

Koalas do drink water, but very rarely, and usually only in extreme stress, such as during heatwaves. The story of the koala that drank from the fire-fighter's water bottle during the February 2009 bushfires was most unusual, and showed the desperation of the native creatures caught in the fires.

This phenomenon of koalas asking for water from humans is becoming more common during southern Australia's hot summers, when temperatures can be extreme. Cyclists in the mountains of Victoria during summer, for example, have been known to stop and offer thirsty koalas a drink at the side of the road, and the koalas have apparently accepted the drink.

Absolutely not. Koalas are protected by law, and they may not be kept as pets under any circumstances.

Wildlife carers have a licence to look after injured or sick koalas, while sanctuaries and zoos have a licence to keep koalas for display purposes.

The progeny, or young, of a koala is called a joey. This is the same for all marsupials. Whether they are kangaroos, koalas, possums, Tasmanian devils, wombats or whatever, any young marsupial is a joey.

They have fur.

Koalas living in captivity, such as a zoo, if they are fed and cared for properly, will probably live a little longer than they would in the bush.

Koalas have thick skin on the pads of their feet which gives them extra grip. Together with their strong claws, this enables them to climb.

I would have to say the closest relative to the seahorse is the koala, since that is the category in which this question is located.

There are 365 days in a year. The koala sleeps between 16 and 20 hours a day. Therefore, the koala sleeps between 5840 hours and 7300 hours a year, give or take a few hours.

The Australian Defence Force Assessment Day

The second step of the process, the Assessment Day, is a long process. It consists of a medical examination by a doctor, a psychological interview and a formal interview with a defence interviewer.

This day is a crucial step in the process. You must ensure that you convey your enthusiasm and maturity. Take it very seriously but try not to be nervous at the same time. You must sell yourself for that job and convince the psyche and the Defence Interviewer that you are worthy of it. This being said your attire should be formal, most people wear a suit, however formal black pants, long sleeved shirt, tie, and black shoes are essential. Try and be confident, keep eye contact, keep a good posture, socialise with the other candidates in the waiting room and SMILE :D

In the medical examination you will be given a hearing, sight and various other tests. You will be required to remove your clothes and do a series of push ups and sit ups, do not worry this IS NOT your fitness test. They will also ask you questions about your medical history and examine your genital region.

The psychological examination is there to make sure they aren't employing any crazies. They will bombard you with questions and ask your opinions on things. Be honest, to an extent, don't lie but at the same time you should omit details which you know are going to compromise your enlistment (for example you felt like killing yourself once). You must convince them that you want the job and must show your enthusiasm.

Now in regards to the Defence Interview, this is the whole kitten caboodle, at the end of it you will be told if you are recommended or not recommended, if rejected you will be told why. You must research EVERYTHING about your job, why you want it, why you want the force you're applying for, where is the basic training, where is the Initial Employment Training, salary and allowances. You must also have a general understanding of what service life is like, how this will affect you, negative and positive personal attributes. The defence interviewer will bombard you with questions, some of them difficult to answer, for example morality questions. He may seem to drill you, but that is his job, to make sure you want the job. At the end of the day it's up to your determination, this part is probably one of the easiest of your military life and they want to know you have the determination to succeed. READ EVERYTHING that is on your job and on your specific service. Once you are done reading it, read it again, until you've memorized everything.

It is also a good idea to know information about your service for example their deployments, bases and equipment. EVERYTHING that is relevant to you must be learnt. Even know about the Pre Enlistment Fittness Assessment. Read everything you can get your hands on.

Good Luck

Koalas are not feral. They are native animals of Australia, and pose no danger or threat to any other species.

"Produce offspring" means, quite simply, to have babies.

The only koalas left in Britain are those found in a very small number of zoos.

Koalas are endemic to Australia, meaning they are not found anywhere else.

There is no collective noun for a group of Koalas. They are essentially solitary animals, although they live within complex social communities. Where you have a whole community, it may be known as a koala colony.

Female Koalas are sexually mature and able to breed at around 2-3 years old, whilst males at 3-5 years old.

Yes. The female koala has an abdominal pouch.
