Koalas that are disturbed are known to be violent, their teeth and claws capable of causing considerable injury to humans; special handling requirements are as such applicable Koala bears are not known for being particularly friendly. The males can be very aggressive. Koalas, in zoos or parks, that have been hand-reared are often available to be held by visitors and are tamer, but they must always be handed back to their handler before being passed to another visitor.

Are koalas always gray?

Koalas are essentially grey. They have woolly light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly. Mature males have a brown stain on their chest, the result of a gland which produces an orange coloured discharge. This is used to mark the trees the male climbs (and attract females) by rubbing this gland against the base of the tree and the trunk. However, koalas are not always grey. Albino koalas have been recorded, but are extremely rare. Furthermore, southern koalas tend to have fur that is darker and tending more towards brown than that of koalas found in the northern parts of Australia.
