Koala captivity?

Question

Can someone direct me to a website that has information about koala captivity in Australia and the United States or just in general?

Answer 1

What do you want to know about it? Koalas only eat certain species of eucalypt. In Australiam fresh branches are collected every day for captive koalas so they always have fresh food. A licence is required to keep koalas in captivity.

There are koalas in some overseas zoos. Before the animals are exported from Australia, the host zoo has to plant the required eucalyptus trees and grow them to the stage where they will provide an ongoing food supply for the koalas. Once the food source is established, permits for the export of koalas will be issued.
