Topic	Koalas declared "Functionally Extinct" in Australia
Reg 05/17/19 1:50:10 PM #1:	https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/48284392 The Australian Koala Foundation says there are fewer than 80,000 koalas left in the wild. Although 80,000 sounds like a lot, the foundation says these koalas are unlikely to produce a new generation. 'Functionally extinct' describes an animal population which has so few pairs that they are unlikely to produce a new generation. It can also describe an animal which is breeding in such few numbers that they are more likely to become ill from disease. <cite>Reg posted [p:922021912] in Koalas dec...
