Koalas only live in trees. However, they do have a range of home trees, and they move between these trees, which necessitates walking across the ground.

Do koalas live in trees or on the ground?
Yes. Koalas mostly live in Eucalyptus trees, as they feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. However, they can also be found in certain species of melaleuca and wattle (acacia) trees, though they do not feed on these.
Why do older koalas not have problems with predators?
Older koalas are generally too large for predators. The main predators in trees are creatures such as quolls and pythons, but these do not prey on adult koalas. The main predators of adult koalas are on the ground. Dogs are particularly dangerous for koalas, but they cannot climb trees, so the only time adult koalas are in danger is when they are on the ground, moving between their home trees.
How do koalas grow?
They live in eucalyptus trees and spend most of their time wedged between forks in the tree's branches. Koalas eat in the trees, sleep in trees and hang out in trees. The only time they leave the trees is to walk to another tree with a better food supply. Koalas do move around in their chosen tree.Koalas: Facts About Iconic Mar
