Popular artist John Gould illustrated and described the koala, introducing the species to the general British public. Botanist Robert Brown wrote the first detailed scientific description of the koala in 1814, although his work remained unpublished for 180 years. The first recorded encounter between a European and a koala was in 1798, and an image of the animal was published in 1810 by naturalist George Perry. They were hunted by Indigenous Australians and depicted in myths and cave art for millennia. Koalas have few natural predators and parasites, but are threatened by various pathogens, such as Chlamydiaceae bacteria and koala retrovirus.īecause of its distinctive appearance, the koala along with the kangaroos are recognised worldwide as symbols of Australia. These young koalas, known as joeys, are fully weaned around a year old.

Being marsupials, koalas give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mothers' pouches, where they stay for the first six to seven months of their lives. Males mark their presence with secretions from scent glands located on their chests. Adult males communicate with loud bellows that intimidate rivals and attract mates. They are asocial animals, and bonding exists only between mothers and dependent offspring. Koalas are largely sedentary and sleep up to twenty hours a day. This eucalypt diet has low nutritional and caloric content and contains toxins that deter most other mammals from feeding on it. Koalas typically inhabit open Eucalyptus woodland, as the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet. These populations possibly are separate subspecies, but this is disputed. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than their counterparts further south. Fur colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body and large head with round, fluffy ears and large, spoon-shaped nose. The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats. The koala or, inaccurately, koala bear ( Phascolarctos cinereus), is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. With this change the website of Wuala was moved from to. Since December 16th, 2008, all files that are marked as publicly accessible and those private folders that are shared with a key phrase, are accessible for everyone through respective urls via the website.

To be able to trade storage on a computer it must be online at least 4h a day The amount of space that can be obtained with this system is calculated from the online time and the space on the local hard drive that is provided to Wuala.Īlternatively it is also possible to refer friends to Wuala, to use promo codes to get free space or a price discount and to buy additional storage. This storage capacity can be increased by trading storage from the local hard drive. Newly registered users receive 1 GB of online storage from the Wuala team. To improve availability, redundant fragments are generated (see Forward error correction), but even if the file can't be fully retrieved from the grid network the first upload to the servers guarantees that a file is never lost.

These fragments are uploaded to Wuala's servers and spread across the grid network. When a user adds a file to Wuala it is encrypted and split into fragments.
