Adopt the Koala

Thank you for your caring decision to adopt the Koala, a mammal unique to Australia.

This endangered and protected mammal from Eastern Australia is threatened by habitat destruction and bushfires. Koalas are safe when in trees, however, when moving along the ground they can be easily attacked by ground predators such as dingos. To escape, they will climb trees or scratch with their sharp claws.

Your symbolic adoption will provide essential support to help take care of Koalas at Perth Zoo and protect threatened species from Australia and around the world.

Fun Fact: Koalas are excellent swimmers and are able to cross rivers in order to escape floods or bushfires.

Please select your chosen adoption level to start your 12-month support of this native Australian species today.
