About Invictokoala
Invictokoala is an extinct genus of phascolarctid from middle Pleistocene-aged cave deposits at Mount Etna of central-eastern Queensland, Australia. Due to its incomplete nature, the relationships of this koala are difficult to establish, although it might represent a holdover from an Oligocene ancestor. The type and only known species is Invictokoala monticola.
