No. Koalas are not poisonous to either their predators or to man. The Aborigines used to feast on koalas, as they were easy game. There is a mistaken belief that, because koalas feed on eucalyptus leaves, which are toxic, that this makes the koala poisonous if ingested. This is not correct.
Some confusion may also derive from people mixing them up with the platypus, which has venomous spurs on its hind legs.
