Best Answer

Once a koala is attacked, it cannot do anything. It is quite defenceless, and unable to do anything except try to get away, but by this stage it is too late.

To avoid being attacked, a koala will try to climb the nearest tree. Their main predators are on the ground.

Are koalas nasty?

No. Koalas are not poisonous to either their predators or to man. The Aborigines used to feast on koalas, as they were easy game.

Some confusion may also derive from people mixing them up with the platypus, which has venomous spurs on its hind legs.
