Chlamydia is a major threat to koala populations across Australia. This bacterial disease infects between 20% and 90% of individuals in koala populations.

wow, if you asked me i would have guessed between 0% and 100%, so I wouldn't be far off from the scientists as someone who knew nothing about it.

Being stupid, fluffy, permanently buzzed from your only source of food, and probably having chlamydia is the lifestyle we all should strive for.
We had some koalas living in our backyard at one of the houses I grew up in. Evenings were spent relaxing to screaming from the female and grunting from the male...
One video I saw some twenty years ago was so disturbing due to how clearly distraught the female was that I haven't been able to think of koalas the same ever since. Like, she might have developed koala PTSD, it was that brutal.
