Breeding

 Twins have been reported but are rare.

On the average, each female produces 5 to 6 baby koalas over her lifetime.

Each baby koala stay with their mother until she has another baby the next season.  If the mother does not reproduce each year, then the young koala stay with her longer and has a greater chance of survival. 

-Koalas breed only once a year.
-Mating normally occurs from September to March.
-Gestation (pregnancy) last 35 days, and then a baby koala
(named a "joey") is born.
-Females generally start breeding at about three or four years
of age and usually produce only one baby koala a year.
