Collective nouns for animals have been discussed here before. Today, I
found out that Koalas do not have one. The explanation given was that
they are highly private animals, not given to hanging around in
groups.

Koala/Collective noun colony They are fairly solitary creatures,
although they do like to be living in overlapping home ranges in
bushland with other Koalas. We usually call these groups 'Koala
populations' or 'Koala colonies'.

 most of those collective nouns were humorous additions to the terms of
venery used for some older groups of animals. in other words: most of them
were intentional jokes
