- They spend most of the day sleeping in the trees, because of their low quality diet, koalas conserve energy by their behavior. They are slow-moving and sleep up to 18 hours a day.They only come to the ground when moving from one tree to another. When they are not sleeping, koalas are often eating. They spend less than one percent of their day in other activities, such as grooming, traveling between trees, or finding a mate. Koalas are not very social animals. They do not live together in groups or families. Koalas prefer to live alone. Mothers and babies are the only koalas that spend much time together.Angry koalas often scratch or bite anyone or anything that bothers them. When a koala is hurt or feels afraid, it lets out a wail that sounds like a crying baby.
