I 💕💕💕💕💕 the 🐨 plushie because it's soft and cuddly and it's my favorite animal in the 🌎!!!! I saw some koala 🐨 when I went to Busch Gardens Tampa in 1997. I'm hoping to get a chance to have my picture taken with one if and when I go to Florida sometime this year. Maybe I'll get a chance to hold one as well.
We’ve decided to collect every single plush you have! They sleep on our bed with us, and our cats. It’s the Best! We constantly look at Fahlo app, and have given the names to each of the plushes. Much Love!
Lovely cute and cuddly. Already have a polar bear tracking bracelet and love it so went for Koala this time. Niece loves being able to see where her animals are! Highly recommend
Oh my, how cute is this KOALA! Have not found out the name yet. It is a lot cuter in person than the picture shows! A nice size & very lightweight. A definite recommend!
Koalas are tracked for many reasons—to track survivorship and generate life history data, to see what areas of the island they use at various times of the year, and to understand how much habitat and range overlap exists. Conservation scientists also like to investigate their sociality and interactions.

How are koalas tracked?
Conservation scientists track them using a combination of tools, including store-on-board GPS loggers that record locations several times each day, and VHF transmitters that allow us to find the koalas in the forest. Each koala has a collar weighing about 80 grams that has the GPS and VHF attached.

Does tracking harm the koalas?
No, and in fact at some sites conservation scientists get alerts (not at St. Bees Island) if the koalas are moving very slowly, and can check to make sure they are ok. Each collar also has a rubber weak link that degrades over time, so if the collar fails in some way, it will fall off the koala after several months. Additionally, this weak link expands so that the koala will never become entangled or caught in a branch. This means sometimes conservation scientists go looking for the koala, and all they find is a collar, with a free koala at large somewhere nearby!

Is a koala a bear?
Despite the nickname “koala bear,” koalas aren’t bears at all! They're marsupials, which means they give birth to live young that continue to grow in their mother's pouch for several months.
Are koalas dangerous?
Though koalas look cute and cuddly, they do have sharp teeth and claws that they will use to protect themselves if they feel threatened. As with all wildlife, it’s best to avoid approaching them and give them plenty of space for their safety and yours.
How long do koalas live?
Male koalas live 10–12 years, whereas females may live as many as 15 years. A number of key threats can affect their lifespan, such as habitat loss, disease, and climate change.
Does a koala have a pouch?
Yes! Female koalas have a backward-facing pouch that allows them to carry their young and protect them as they climb trees.
How do I wash my koala plush?
Wipe with damp sponge or cloth, using warm water and mild soap. Once dry, brush to restore the plush and proceed with snuggling.
My plush arrived a little misshapen, what do I do?
Your plush had quite the long journey to get to you! If it appears squished from lack of legroom during shipping, give it a good fluff to help it return to its normal, cuddly shape. Still need help? Email us at support@myfahlo.com.
