Koalas have a number of behavioural adaptations to survive in their environment.
They climb tall, straight gum trees trees for food, shelter and protection from ground-dwelling predators.
Male koalas have a scent gland which emits a very strong scent. They use this gland to mark their hokme trees, rubbing the gland against the trunk of the tree. This lets other males koalas know it is "his" tree.
Koalas live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male. Koalas feed alone and travel alone, but they understand their own social structure. When one of their community dies, another does not immediately move in and take its place. It takes about a year for the scent of the previous occupant to fade, and only then will another koala move in to its range.
In recent years, koalas in the southern states have changed their behaviour as a result of the excessive heat and prolonged droughts. Once shy of all human contact, and known for not requiring water to drink as eucalyptus leaves provide all their moisture needs, individual koalas have been known to actively seek out humans to supply them with water. Oakes have been known to approach people in their territory, or to follow bushwalkers, seeking a drink.
One behavioural adaptation of a koala is the way koalas have learned to look for water in people's backyards during heatwaves or prolonged drought. Koalas do not normally need to dry, as they can usually get all their moisture needs from the leaves they eat. However, they have been known to drink from buckets, Swimming Pools and even approach bushwalkers carrying water bottles, readily accepting a drink from the bottle.
A koala's natural instinct is to climb certain species of eucalyptus trees, from which it can obtain all its nutritional needs, as well as its shelter.

The primary driving force behind evolution is the environmental pressure, which encourages or discourages certain physical or behavioural adaptations to best fit the environment.
The koala, which is not a bear, is of the family Phascolarctidae.
The genus name for the koala is Phascolarctos.
Behavioural adaptations involve changes in how an individual/species acts in relation to its environment (e.g. hibernation). Structural adapations are changes in the biological make-up of the species (mutuations in its DNA) which change how the species/individual looks or works structurally (e.g. different colourations).Answer 2Both types of adaptations concern the variation and inheritance of heritable traits. The difference between the two is that one type of inherited change affects the 'behaviour' of the organism (ie. the way it moves, where it goes, what it does there, and so on), while the other affects the biology of the organism in a more limited way (ie. the shape of its skeleton, the efficiency of its metabolism, etc).
Behavioural Adaptations: The tiger hunts alone in the wild. The tiger stalk the prey before capturing it.
nope there called behavioural adaptations. there are 3 kinds of adaptations: structural behavioural physiological
What is behavioural adaptations of the white tiger
A pineapple does not have behavioural adaptations.
None at all. The koala is not a bear; nor does it live in Africa; nor can it survive in grasslands.See the related question for what adaptations a koala has.
they have there own community

The Koala has many adaptations. The Koala has fur that is water repellant and protects them fom hot and cold weather. Koalas have a large nose to determine if the eucalypts leaves that they are about to eat are poisonous or not. Also, the koalas paws are thickly padded, allowing for a better grip as the koalas climb.

the koala eats toxic leaves and it it adapted to eating them so the toxins don't effect it, so if it didn't addapt to it, the koala would probably eat something else
