Contrary to popular belief, koalas are quite quick once they are on the move. They can move at a good speed for short distances along the ground, although not quickly enough to evade dogs. There is no information available on the speed a koala can actually run.

They have also been observed running reasonably quickly along the road, almost too fast for well-meaning humans to catch up to them and move them out of harm's way.

Koalas can shinny up a tree very quickly and efficiently when threatened.

Do koalas sleep all day?

Koalas are nocturnal animals, which means they are more active at night. Koalas have a slow metabolic rate which is required for them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and rather low in nutrition, so the fact that the koala has a slow metabolic rate means it can keep the food within its digestive system for as long as possible in order to maximise the energy that can be extracted from the leaves. This slow metabolic rate also means the koalas sleep for more time each day in order to conserve energy.

How quick are koalas?

Most of the time, koalas amble along at the "normal" pace of a typical four-legged animal. They are also able to scale trees rapidly. Although they have a slow metabolism, koalas run quite quickly when they have reason to. I have witnessed people jogging alongside koalas, trying to keep them off the road. Some websites suggest that koalas in full flight are as fast as a rabbit, but this is not at all the case, and cannot be verified with any authoritative Australian websites.
