it was very disheartening ...... early settlers turned sa koalas into slippers amongst other things and wiped them out. then they decided to repopulate with 5 or 6 animals. then 5 or 6 more 20 or 30 years later... all from the same gene pool. our sa and vic koalas are in serious trouble. so many inherent tendencies to disease... from studies done over 12? years at least half are suffering from renal issues and they overall have a very poor immune system from the interbreeding.
