Question

i no they only eat ucaliptus ( i no i spelled it wrong) but is there any way to grow it in the us

Answer 1

Koalas are not on the endangered species list. They are currently listed as vunerable. The San Diego Zoo have koalas and they sucessfully breed them, but they grow their own eucalyptus/gum trees. Koalas only eat some types of gum leaves, and in order to keep them healthy they must be offered at least 3 varieties a day. I believe that the Columbus Zoo found it too difficult and expensive to provide that for them, and gave up their koalas a few years ago. Koalas, contrary to what you might think, are neither smelly...they smell pretty much like what they eat. Nor are they aggressive unless threatened. I have raised and rescued many koalas, including some very large males, and have only been bitten once, and that was while I was checking the teeth of a large male in order to determine his age.It isn't likely that anyone in the US would be permitted to keep a koala without proper zoo permits. It's not something that is permitted even in Australia except for zoos and wildlife parks.

Answer 2

Eucalyptus can grow in the US, but that doesn't mean you could keep a koala fed. Not just any eucalyptus will do for them.
Also, koalas may look cute and cuddly, but they are foul tempered, smelly creatures with long sharp claws - not to mention completely illegal to own as pets in most countries.

Answer 3

A koala can only live in the US if it's in a zoo. It's illegal to keep one as a pet.

Answer 4

Only in zoos. They are on an endangered species list.

Answer 5

Yeah, the zoos do it all the time. Don't get one though, they are smelly, and VERY aggressive.

Answer 6
