Best Answer

The colour of a koala enables it to blend in with the blue-grey of Australian gum trees. The camouflage effect is further enhanced by the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves and branches - this tends to make the koala very difficult to see. It was eleven years before the first European settlers in Australia saw a koala or knew of their existence.
