Koalas

The Catalpa beans are not edible, but have several uses. Indians used many parts of the tree for medicines and some say they can be used to keep moles out of a yard.

The koalas's breeding season is in the Australian spring through to summer/early Autumn (September through to March). They reproduce just once during this time, usually producing a single joey, although twins do occur, rarely. The joey stays with its mother until the next breeding season.

In Australia, it is called aluminium.

A fully grown koala is not smaller than a loaf of bread.

Koalas range in size from 720 mm in length with a weight of 7.25 kg (northern females, the smallest of the adult koalas) up to 820 mm in length with a weight of 15 kg (southern males, the largest of the koalas).

Not at all.

Even though Australia has some vast and ancient rainforests, koalas cannot live there as the rainforest is not the source of their food, which is eucalyptus leaves.

Koalas eat from only a few dozen varieties of gum trees, none of which are found in rainforests.

Yes there are Koalas in the Bronx zoo

Koalas and Greater gliders eat eucalyptus leaves.

There are just a few small populations of koalas in Western Australia. They are not native to the western half of Australia, and a few protected populations consisting of just a few dozen koalas have been successfully introduced into the southwestern corner.

Koalas are not native to Israel, but there are some at the Gan Guru Australian-themed zoo, which is found at Kibbutz Nir David in the Jezreel Valley. The koala is only native to eastern Australia.

It is unlikely that koalas could survive in America.

Koalas require just a certain few species of eucalyptus trees for their food, and the required genus of eucalyptus are not found in America.

Koalas do not live in Oceania. They only live on the Australian continent. Whilst there is no way to know exactly how long they have been here, it is accepted that they have been in Australia for many thousands of years.

Koalas can be found in a range of different climates, as they can live wherever their favoured eucalyptus species live. They most commonly inhabit warm temperate zones. They are known to inhabit cooler areas of southern Australia, including sub-alpine regions, and extend north up the Queensland coast (sub-tropical, but not rainforests) and inland where the weather is hotter and drier.

They are not found in alpine areas.

The remote island continent of Australia has kept its distinct species from spreading naturally worldwide.

Basically, its food is all around it. Koalas could spend their whole lives in only one or two eucalyptus trees, not even leaving to drink water. It gets all the moisture it needs from the eucalyptus leaves.

Actually, koalas have a quite complex system of home range trees. Their home range may be a square kilometre in size, and they frequently move from tree to tree within their home range, in search of food. Koalas' individual home ranges overlap the home range of other koalas in their vicinity.

Koalas must climb certain species of eucalyptus trees to find their food. They eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and most water requirements (they very rarely drink water, except in extreme circumstances such as extended heatwaves). They also occasionally eat the gum tree blossoms. Two of the koala's digits on their forelimbs act as opposable thumbs, enabling koalas to reach out and grasp the leaves they want.

While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas eat from only about 60 of the species, consuming about half a kilogram of eucalyptus leaves every day. Within these 60 species, there are about a dozen of the "preferred" variety.

Koalas used to live in South Australia. During the late 1800s, koalas became an export commodity for their fur, mostly for export to the USA. By the time laws were enacted protecting the koala and imports were banned by the USA in the late 1920s, the koala had been driven to extinction in South Australia.

New colonies have been introduced in South Australia, and within these protected environments, the koala is thriving, particularly on kangaroo island, where there is actually an overpopulation problem. New colonies have also been introduced to parts of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Australians call them "lifts", but the word "elevators" is not unknown.

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. Their closest relative is the wombat.

They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix.

The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
