Koalas are well equipped to protect themselves as they have strong, sharp claws, and their front incisors are very sharp as well. Their colouring also helps make them difficult to see in the tree tops. This is evident from the fact that it was eleven years after Europeans settled in Australia before they even saw their first koala in the area. The koala's fur helps to protect them from bad weather, as it is insulated against cold and wet weather.

Koalas can quickly climb tall, straight trees, away from danger, and none of their predators can climb directly upwards as koalas can.
they have very sharp claws and fast feet and flat sharp teeth
