RE: Australian Animal Series Part 2 - What's the difference between a Koala and the mythical Drop Bear
Yes that was discussed but dismissed as many of the Koalas on KI carry diseases. Big issue is habitat loss, cats and dogs.
I suppose diseases are not so surprising when they are in crowded conditions.
Do cats predate on koalas? I'd have thought them a bit big.
Not really. Dogs and caRs... lol need to proof read more. But some of the feral cats we have could easily take down a Northern Koala which are only 2/3 the size of the ones down south.
These Feral Cats can be the size of a medium dog check out this story http://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/science-environment/2013/06/huge-feral-cats-wreaking-havoc-in-arnhem-land
Holy c**p! They are big! We caught a feral in the fox trap earlier this year and thought that was big.
Learn something every day. I didn't know there was a difference in koala size.
