Animal Facts
Whether there are different subspecies of koala is disputed due to genetics. Victoria koalas are much larger and stockier than Queensland koalas, with shaggier, thicker fur, and fluffier ears.
Koala fur is an extremely good insulator, rivalling Arctic mammal fur. They need this fur to keep them warm because their metabolism is very slow.
Koalas rarely drink, getting almost all the water they need from their eucalyptus diet.
Koala fingerprints are almost indistinguishable from human fingerprints.
