Question

Do koalas make good pets?

Answer 1

no, they're pretty boring. and not to mention they're endangered so it might be hard to get one..

A koala eats about half a kilogram of leaves each day. Koalas are fussy eaters, choosing most of their food from a few varieties of eucalypt. Around Sydney, red gums and mahoganies are their most favoured trees. In northern areas of the State, tallowwood and forest red gum are important, manna gum tops the bill in the south, and in the west koalas prefer river red gum and ribbon gum. They use a variety of other trees for shelter during the day and in heatwaves or storms, including paperbark, she-oak, brush box and acacia trees.

Answer 2

No, they're rather aggressive, sleep for 22 hours in a day and have high demands for food. They also have a specialised diet consisting of mainly eucalyptus leaves and are currently Near Threatened according to the IUCN red list of endangered species.

Certainly not a good candidate for a pet.
