Koalas may have only been encountered by Europeans at the end of the 18^th century, but the indigenous Aboriginals in Australia have been depicting koalas in art for thousands of years. Koalas were hunted by the indigenous Aboriginals, and were also important in the myths and cave art of these groups. Europeans first encountered koalas in 1798 and were initially depicted in published works in Europe in 1810.
