Secret Life of the Koala
Perhaps Australia's most iconic creature of all, these cuddly looking little characters can face surprising challenges, and in different parts of Australia the koalas have very different stories. Meet Jimmy, a little koala who is trying to find a new home range in the dense woodlands of New South Wales; the koalas at Moreton Bay in Queensland whose population is being monitored; and the koalas of Cape Otway in Victoria, who are overeating their own food supply.
Episodes
Koalas aren't known for their high energy levels. All this changes during mating season, when males go on the prowl and females - some still raising last year's joey - choose a would-be suitor. Lift the veil on this enigmatic marsupial's romantic and family life, in the heart of the Australian wilderness.
Koalas are synonymous with Australia - but few people realize that they only inhabit the eastern and southeastern regions of the country, where their very specific diet and tree-dwelling needs can be met. Part the branches and peek into the enigmatic day-to-day life of this iconic, sleep-loving marsupial.
