Curlew and Koala, two endangered North Atlantic right whales, wandered off course in January popping up along the Gulf coast near the Alabama and Florida border on Feb. 2.
The extinct species are presumed to have similar diet and habits to the modern koala, the largest Australian folivore, which was exceeded in size by the even more robust P. stirtoni. [11] The tail of koalas is almost absent, an unusual characteristic for a tree climbing mammal, although other anatomical features are well suited to that habitat.
The koala is a robust animal with a large head and vestigial or non-existent tail. [11]: 1 [31] It has a body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and a weight of 4–15 kg (8.8–33.1 lb), [31] making it among the largest arboreal marsupials. [32] Koalas from Victoria are twice as heavy as those from Queensland.
Male Koalas have an extra set of vocal cords that helps them produce 'bellowing' sound as mating call.Source: Los Angeles Zoo
Diprotodontia (/ d aɪ ˌ p r oʊ t ə ˈ d ɒ n t i ə /, from Greek "two forward teeth") is the largest extant order of marsupials, with about 155 species, [2] including the kangaroos, wallabies, possums, koala, wombats, and many others.
Australian Reptile Park shared a video at the beginning of March of a tender moment between mom and baby koalas. The clip is only about 10 seconds long, but the hug is a must see.
A “highly distressed” koala was released back to the wild, two weeks after being rescued by a wildlife sanctuary having become stranded up a tree in a New South Wales yard while three dogs lay ...
In addition, koalas live in many protected areas. [1] While urbanisation can pose a threat to koala populations, the animals can survive in urban areas provided enough trees are present. [11] Urban populations have distinct vulnerabilities: collisions with vehicles and attacks by domestic dogs. [12]
