Koalas are essentially solitary animals, but they live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male.

Koalas do feed alone and travel alone, but they understand their own social structure. When one of their community dies, another does not immediately move in and take its place. It takes about a year for the scent of the previous occupant to fade, and only then will another koala move in to its range.

No. Koalas are essentially solitary animals. They live alone, but they do live within complex social communities. Koalas have a number of trees in their home range, which may overlap with other koalas' trees, but they can peacefully occupy the same tree within their range. Apart from that, although they live in communities, they do not have a great deal of interaction with each other, except during breeding season.

Koalas are essentially solitary animals, Living and feeding alone. However, they also live in complex social communities where there is a dominant male. Territorial disputes occur (and can be heard at night in suburban areas where koalas may live) when a younger male is trying to assert his dominance.

They are certainly not "pack" animals.

Koalas do not live in packs. They are essentially solitary animals, but at the same time live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male.

Not at all. Koalas tend to travel independently.

Koalas do not hunt: they are herbivores which feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves.

Koalas feed alone and travel alone.
