Koalas have very few ways to save themselves against predators. Their best defence is to climb trees, which they do with speed and agility. If cornered, they may scratch with their surprisingly sharp claws, or bite other creatures. This is insufficient, however, and in a fight with with an unleashed dog, the koalas will definitely come out worst.
