The Koala is one of Australia's best-known animals.
Identification
The Koala's thick ash-grey fur, white chest and round head with fluffy ears make this species unmistakable.
Habitat
The Koala lives in eucalypt forests.
Location
The Koala has a patchy distribution from northern Queensland to southern Victoria and south-eastern South Australia. The Koala is no longer common in the Sydney region, although a significant population remains on the southern outskirts. Clearing and fragmentation of its habitat for housing developments and farming continues to significantly reduce its distribution. Image by Tony Mills. Tony Mills Photography & Videography.
