Tiny wildlife moment captures hearts as animal finds comfort during recovery.

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox”: endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...

A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species. Researchers analyzed whole genomes from hundreds of koalas, finding that ...

Raymond Island is slightly off the beaten path, and has no hotels, shops, or restaurants—but this biodiverse wonderland has become a wildlife lovers’ dream.

The planet has seen a number of devastating fires in recent years. From California to Canada, Thailand, and Algeria, no part ...

You are what you eat. Chowing down on a giant bowl of garlic cloves will make you smell like garlic. The same goes for onions. For younger koalas, however, their odor is usually a little more pleasant ...
