Koalas spend just 10 minutes a day risking their lives on the ground
"Roughly two-thirds of koala deaths occur when they're on the ground — mostly from dog attacks and vehicle collisions. Cleared areas and roadsides are more dangerous locations for koalas to live. Koalas have to move a lot because of their quite specialised diets...Landscapes should be arranged so koalas don't have to spend much time on the ground."
