Tests have not been carried out on the speed with which a koala climbs a tree. Suffice to say that a koala is not as quick as some of the smaller marsupials, such as possums and gliders, but they can muster up enough speed to get out of the way of a predator.

Most of the time, koalas amble along at the "normal" pace of a typical four-legged animal. They are also able to scale trees rapidly. Although they have a slow metabolism, koalas run quite quickly when they have reason to. I have witnessed people jogging alongside koalas, trying to keep them off the road. Some websites suggest that koalas in full flight are as fast as a rabbit, but this is not at all the case, and cannot be verified with any authoritative Australian websites.
