As Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bushfires, koala populations have dwindled along with their habitat, leaving them “functionally extinct.”
The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Deborah Tabart, estimates that over 1,000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.
Recent bushfires, along with prolonged drought and deforestation has led to koalas becoming “functionally extinct” according to experts.
Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play a significant role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer viable. While some individuals could produce, the limited number of koalas makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely and highly susceptible to disease. More
And they were so tasty!
I read several years ago that if it weren’t for man’s efforts to keep the koala around, they would have probably gone extinct on their own.
After watching on teevee efforts To get these things interested in mating, I can see why they are nearly extinct.
HOPEFULLY, homosexual… ‘marriage’ 🙄 … will make democraps, “functionally extinct.” 😉
Thank you Anonymous for demonstrating why a high percentage of IOTW frequenters are not a fan of ANON posts. Tie those stupid comments to a verified Toon Name and they go away double quick.
Why do they seem to only care about the cute animals going extinct?
So what. Besides, I hear they have really bad attitudes.
How about a little common decency. If you can’t show some compassion for a burned, crying animal, step off.
I can’t wait for the day that headline is for Democrats.
So is Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Also pandas.
To lazy to hump.
Such cute animals. Sad. Btaim…
This is, of course, all Trump’s fault. Never mind that bush fires have gone on forever in Australia. And that the koala already was having scarcity problems. Climate change propaganda.
OH BOY! Somebody is thinking, This is gonna take a lot of money to fix.
Bus them. That’ll kill them off fast.
I guess polar bears weren’t cute enough anymore to exploit for the global warming hoax, so it’s on to the endangered Koala!
What will Quantas do for a symbol?
Pick a beast that won’t go extinct anytime soon. A saltwater croc, a great white, a blue ringed octo?
Or how’s about an old, Australian stockman, lying, dying, telling his mates to tie his kangaroos down and let his abos go loose?
koalas decided to ‘extinct’ themselves when they decided that eating eucalyptus exclusively, to get high all day, was a ‘lifestyle choice’
hmmmmm, reminds me of …..
The government is not legitimate.
The globalists give campaign donations and cushy job promises to politicians to run up the debt, start wars, and make laws that enslave Americans. The Gestapo enforces the decrees. Americans obey the laws.
The only reason the system works now is that everyone thinks the government is legit. If no one obeyed, the system would crumble.
The government and illegal aliens don’t obey the law.
Why should Americans?
You cannot vote for freedom because the US is not a democracy. The election machines can be hacked.
You wouldn’t pay money to the mafia. Why should you give money to the government?
Don’t get marriage licenses, birth certificates, business licenses, passports, driver licenses, or fishing licenses. Don’t register for the draft or fill out census forms.
Don’t obey the law. If straws are illegal, use a straw. If baseball hats are illegal, wear a baseball cap.
Stop paying taxes.
The elites can’t kill us all. There are not enough jails.
Drop out today. Go Galt. Go off the grid.
Americans shouldn’t walk around like everything is fine when the US is bankrupt warmongering police state.
Silence means consent.
The blood from US wars and tyranny is on your hands. Don’t you feel any guilt? Is anyone responsible for anything?
Think.
Pass the word.
Just curious, could this be because they’re all living the high life in American zoos? Our local zoo has three of them.
