Description


Le koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), appelé aussi Paresseux australien, est une espèce de marsupial arboricole herbivore endémique d'Australie et le seul représentant encore vivant de la famille des Phascolarctidés. On le trouve dans les régions côtières de l'Australie méridionale et orientale, d'Adélaïde à la partie sud de la péninsule du cap York. Les populations s'étendent aussi sur des distances considérables dans l'arrière-pays australien (outback), là où l'humidité est suffisante pour le maintien de forêts. Les koalas d'Australie-Méridionale furent exterminés au début du xxe siècle, mais cet État fédéré a depuis été repeuplé grâce à des transferts du Victoria. Cet animal n'est présent ni en Tasmanie ni en Australie-Occidentale. Le koala est étroitement lié à l'eucalyptus ou gommier, dont il ne mange que les feuilles de certaines espèces. Les mâles peuvent vivre en moyenne 15 ans, et les femelles 20 ans. C'est, avec le kangourou, l'un des principaux symboles de l'Australie. Après avoir été chassé massivement pour sa fourrure, il est aujourd'hui principalement menacé par la fragilité et le recul de son biotope. Il reste moins de 80 000 koalas vivant en liberté et ce nombre continue de décliner. Les koalas disparaissent à cause des menaces qui pèsent sur leur habitat et des vagues de chaleur dues au réchauffement climatique The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), also known as Australian Lazy, is a species of herbivorous tree marsupial endemic to Australia and the only surviving member of the Phascolarctidae family. It is found in the coastal regions of South and Eastern Australia, from Adelaide to the southern part of the Cape York Peninsula. Populations also extend over considerable distances in the Australian outback, where there is sufficient moisture to maintain forests. South Australian koalas were exterminated at the beginning of the 20th century, but this federated state has since been repopulated with transfers from Victoria. This animal is not present in Tasmania or Western Australia. Koala is closely related to eucalyptus or gum tree, from which it eats only the leaves of certain species. Males can live an average of 15 years, and females 20 years. It is, along with the kangaroo, one of Australia's main symbols. After being hunted massively for its fur, it is now mainly threatened by the fragility and decline of its biotope. There are still less than 80,000 koalas living in the wild and this number continues to decline. Koalas are disappearing due to threats to their habitat and heat waves due to global warming

Un magnifique portrait animal, d'autant plus beau et émouvant quand je lis les informations de ton commentaire suivant lesquelles le koala pourrait disparaître avec l'évolution du climat actuel...Aucune autre espéce vivante que nous-mêmes n'a autant joué avec le feu et mis la planète en danger, c'est triste à constater. En tout cas, cette photo est un superbe témoignage, à sa façon...✨
