Across their range in Australia they are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia and are NOT considered endangered but are listed as vulnerable. However, some local isolated populations of koala could be considered endangered due to habitat loss through housing development. Their food trees are threatened and therefore they could face local extinction.

The female reaches sexual maturity at the end of her second year or later and physical maturity at the end of her fourth year. Males - about 3 years sexual maturity and reach physical maturity at 4 years.

stated before, the eucalypt leaf is very low in viable nutrients and koalas have a slightly lower body temperature and consequently a lower metabolic rate than most other mammals, to reduce the amount of energy expended per day. By sleeping 18-20 hours they conserve energy and their waking hours are used to feed, move and seek out mates during the breeding season. They do not get drunk on eucalypt leaves.

One supplement to the koala's usual diet seems to be dirt. The koala may occasionally eat dirt to adjust deficiencies of minerals in its system. They also occasionally eat bark, flowers and buds of certain eucalypt.

In the Wild ? females up to 15-18 years; males 10-15 years. In captivity both can live 15+ years. Legend has it that a koala in Queensland lived to 28 yrs.

Koalas sleep approx. 18 hours out of 24. This is an evolutionary strategy to conserve their energy as the Eucalypt leaf is so low in nutrients/energy value.

Koalas eat at all times but mostly in the early morning and early evening and during each day consume approximately half a kilogram of leaves

There are approx. 600 species of eucalypt in Australia ? koalas are known to feed on approx. 40-50 species depending on locality. Of this 40-50 they prefer to limit their diet to about 10. Koalas also will eat casuarina, paperbark and corymbia leaves. They eat new and mature leaves, buds, flowers and at times bark but the bulk of their diet consists of leaves.

There is usually some swelling which gradually resolves after one to two weeks. There may be some bruising, but usually very little. Some patients heal faster, and a few take longer. Most patients look ok but a little swollen after one week, and fine after two weeks. The crease is high just after surgery, and gets lower as the swelling resolves. Dr. Schiller will show you pictures of what to expect after a week and two weeks.
