Hi @Wandiyali, You may not be aware, but there are hundreds of claims for desirable species where they do not occur. Nature Mapper is meant to store only records confirmed by a moderator. So strictly speaking you should provide the audio file for us to hear. I occasionally make exceptions (i.e. break the rule) if a reliable expert says they saw or heard the thing, but so far you haven't given us much for our records e.g. not even your name, much less the identity of the expert who listened to the recordings. So, please tell who, if anyone, has identified the sound file as koala bellowing? Or can you please give a reference to a written report from this project which identifies a koala at this location? Otherwise I have to classify your record as 'inconclusive'?

Vombatus ursinus
